That's the current expected behavior when you run an X server and no clients.
If you want to see a mouse cursor, you could add the -retro flag (X -retro :2),
but normally the mouse cursor shows up when you start a window manager.
6. I've waited for over an hour, the screen blanked periodically (as a power
management would do), during this time. Moving the mouse would return to the
black screen. Doing */Ctrl+C/* didn't exit.
7. Swiitched to TTY5 with */Ctrl+Alt+F5/*
8. The command was in the blocked status, i.e. waiting for the */sudo X :2/*
program to finish with a lot of output
9. Did */Ctrl+C/*
10. The */sudo X :2/* was stopped: */sudo_Xorg.2.log/* file.
That's all as expected - if you wanted something to appear on the screen you
would need to run some X clients with their $DISPLAY set to :2.
