It's a capital X in Xsession. But you can just use any windowmanager
instead of Xsession. after the `export DISPLAY=:2` just launch wm2,
xfwm, fluxbox, ion3, icewm, openbox,... whatever.

You can also launch a terminal after that if the chosen wm does not
offer the means to start one.

Most distributions ship ffmpeg with x264 enabled these days, although
there are some http://ffmpeg.org/legal.html considerations. So some don't.

You can always compile it from source, but due to the large amount of
dependencies and configuration options that is only to be taken as last
resort.

What GNU/Linux distribution are you using?
