Meanwhile I found that starting X with startxwin.sh sets the display correctly and opens a X console. xpdf, xmgrace, etc... work nicelly now. Must I start an X session this way? 

You must start the X server if you plan to use X applications.   You can
choose to start the server any way you like.  However, if you're not
familiar with the intracacies of X, you'll find starting the X server
with startxwin.[sh|bat] to be the easiest way.
