I finally got this segmentation fault problem fixed.
I uninstalled the following drivers:
xf86-input-keyboard-1.7.0
xf86-input-mouse-1.9.0
xf86-input-synaptics-1.7.1
xf86-video-ati-7.2.0
xf86-video-modesetting-0.8.0
xf86-video-vesa-2.3.3
Only the two drivers below remained:
xf86-input-evdev-2.8.2
xf86-video-fbdev-0.4.4
Now, startx works as expected.
I think the segmentation fault I had came from the ati video
driver. Because I use the kernel Linux-libre
(http://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/) from which binary
blobs and non-free files are removed, the binary firmware
(firmware/radeon in the kernel Linux sources) used by the ati video
driver to provide hardware acceleration was not present, hence the
segmentation fault.
