You have to find the bitmaps that your material uses, and copy them to the directory that you''re X file is in. For example, your material has a diffuse texture tex1.tga. Take tex1.tga (wherever it is, maybe it''s in the Maya dir), and copy it to the directory that the x file resides in. The texture filenames are hardcoded into the mesh.

3ds max has a nice exporter (the Pandasoft one) that will copy all the textures to the directory for you. Maybe maya has one, too.

The Maya .x exporter doesn't copy the textures for you. But there is a very nice little script called fileTextureManager.mel that will allow you copy any texture used in a scene to a specified directory. Go to www.highend3d.com and do a search in the MEL scripts.
