I'm still investigating the issue.
There were some warnings in Xorg.0.log.
I did the following to clear them.
$ sudo apt-get install -y xserver-xorg-video-fbdev
s390x@s390x:/var/log$ cat Xorg.0.log

IBM Z does not have a framebuffer / graphics-adapter (nor Linux Virtual
Terminals), so Xorg, even with the fbdev module, cannot run.
If that doesn't work, I'll try Xvnc instead of Xorg.
I think that's the only way if you want an X server in Linux on IBM Z.

typical x86 desktop [VT7, fbdev]. If you want to go with this method of
starting up X, you probably need to teach it to use Xvnc instead of Xorg as
