Is this with or without your fork patch?  I really do need to see the
entire log; that 10 line section is insufficient to see what
happened prior to that point.  But first, see if the following
fixes things:

Right.  From the console, I can start X with
  schroot -c sid -p -q -- X :1
or
  schroot -c sid -p -q -- xinit :1

and then run X applications in both directly from the console without
any trouble, or from with the X session.

Now, when you start X, it creates a socket in /tmp/.X11-unix/Xn, where
n is the display number.  Do you have the same /tmp inside and outside
the chroot (i.e. is it bind mounted)?  If not, you'll need to do that.

Note that in your config:
[sid2]
description=Debian sid2 (unstable)
location=/local/chroot/sid2
aliases=unstable2
users=root,lindi

I don't see a type= line.  If this is the complete configuration,
you are running with type=plain and not type=directory which would
have done this setup for you.  Please see the "should I use the
plain or directory chroot type?" section in the attached FAQ.


Regards,
Roger
