Stupid me! Apparently, I did not have anything in /root/.xinitrc.
Adding
exec /usr/bin/startlxde
makes the X server start just fine.

Thanks for the help,
Dirk

Apparently, if I start xdm instead of running startx, it works OK. I will now try to find out why startx fails.

This log looks like X starts up fine, and then the session ends.  Are
you sure it's not your session crashing or terminating prematurely,
rather than an X problem?

Cheers,
Julien
