I think it may help if you clarify the question a little bit. You are running a script and it needs to ceck for the presence of a running X server? Or are you trying to run X and unable to get the display using a specific driver, and there are trying to troubleshoot via a script? The methodology shouldn't be any different in actuality, just pipe ps ax to match X via egrep.
