fatal io error, cannot allocate memory

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. install x server for android via play market
2. install archlinux in chroot
3. install and run a windowmanager, i.e fluxbox, icewm.
4. set DISPLAY to localhost:0 and run icewm

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I hoped to see fluxbox running in the window, instead I got the error message:

[johan@localhost /]$ openbox
Openbox-Message: Unable to make directory '/data/.cache/openbox': Permission 
denied
Obt-Message: XKB extension is not present on the server or too old
Obt-Message: Xinerama extension is not present on the server
Obt-Message: XRandR extension is not present on the server
Obt-Message: X Sync extension is not present on the server or is an 
incompatible version
XIO:  fatal IO error 12 (Cannot allocate memory) on X server "localhost:0"
      after 124 requests (124 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm running android 4.0.3 on a Transformer Prime tf201.
X server is version 1.11

Please provide any additional information below.
All the window managers seem to fail with the same message, fatal
io error 12 cannot allocate memory.
