Well...

As far as I know, X-mod = FM.

With FM here, I mean when one oscillator is used to modulate the frequency
of another. (The FM-synths, the DX-series for instance, use some kind of
phase modulation i think, and not "straight" Frequency Modulation, but I
might be wrong here...)

Note that there is a difference between pitch modulation and frequency
modulation. Pitch modulation is exponential, freqency modulation is linear.
