Upgrading xinitrc and xorg from rawhide, replacing 'xinit -- :1' by 'startx -- :1' with a 'echo xterm > ~/.xinitrc' worked well, even from another X session. I discovered that startx wanted the display number as its first argument : startx -- :1 -depth 24 => good startx -- -depth 24 :1 => bad Thanks Michal and Thomas.
