The command that finally worked

  xinit xterm -- /usr/bin/X -br :0.0

For some reason, this command also ran the window manager (sapphire in this case).

Perhaps it has to do w/ .xinitrc:

aterm &
xterm &
Eterm &
sapphire

The .xserverrc doesn't matter, and could be simply the default:

X :0

[as specified in the init(1) man page]
