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.

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.
