Oli, if you are using the proprietry drivers, then yes you will need
xserver-xorg-legacy, though this should get pulled in automatically when
you install/update the drivers (so long as you are using the version
from the ubuntu archives)

Title:
  X server fails to start under regular user in Xenial

Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The newest ISO image of Ubuntu GNOME Xenial Xerus does not launch the
  graphical installer on boot. Instead, it waits at the text-based login
  screen. I can log in using the default username of 'ubuntu-gnome' and
  start the X server with 'sudo startx.' Note that just 'startx' does
  not work; the command must be run as root. I am able to proceed with
  the installation as normal after starting X.

  After the system is fully installed, the problem persists. X can still
  be started manually after login.
