No signal on VGA when launching xbmc (or some with xinit or startx)

I've found and ooooooold laptop and i installed on it arch linux to make a mediaserver.

Want to start xbmc with systemctl start blabla when i use it and can enter in my server over ssh.

I've done that,

i see my tty1 on vga screen but ... when i try to start xbmc like up, it gives to me "no signal" on my vga monitor (even if i launch startx)

it has an ati radeon:

01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RC410M [Mobility Radeon Xpress 200M]

and this is a log produced with startx

can be a radeon driver problem?

i noticed that if i do startx and get no signal and then launch xbmc in this way works (i can see xbmc on vga screen), like if there isn't a clean switch or something like that
