and with sth like
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin/:/usr/local/bin \
sudo -u display -H /usr/X11R6/bin/startx >/var/log/Xdisplay 2>&1 </dev/null
in rc.local you even get it automagically on bootup.

not really - if you start X in rc.local and don't background it just
poot halt -p as last command in rc.local.
