-legacy loads OS X in 32-bit mode, so if you have some kind of issue with 64-bit mode, you can resolve it. I have my doubts this is the root of the problem since it does boot, but you never know.
-x triggers Safe Mode and only loads the crucial drivers. This should help narrow down whether your problem is something with the OS itself or a hardware kext.
-v allows you to "see" the bootup process in diagnostic text. If the boot process is hanging anywhere, the line it "hangs" at could give further insight into the KP problems.
And you aren't stupid. We were all n00bs sometime.
