One of the 2 commands in your .xinitrc has to hold the session.
(Ie. it can't have an ampersand at the end.)

Make sure /tmp is writable by you.
Heres how I start X:
xinit -- -nobanner -ar1 200 -ar2 20 2>&1 | tee /tmp/xinit.out
The "tee" at the end allows me to capture any messages I might miss.
If you are logging in as root, you may be able to truss xinit and
see the problem:
truss -f xinit -- -nobanner -ar1 200 -ar2 20 2>&1 | tee /tmp/xinit.out
