It turns out that if I move the mouse around after typing startx the X
server starts up fine. This is with rmk2.
I've set the console to 1280x1024 8bit but X always starts up in 640x480
4bit. Setting the resolution and depth from an X term the screen display
gets corrupted. If I then exit back to the console and restart the X server
I get the intended resolution and depth. I've also noticed the mouse
pointer is restricted to the 640x480 screen size in the console.
