That was it. Adding "&" at the end of the command in rc.local did the

I think I found out the reason...Every X release i.e. X11RX.X has a X
server version associated with it. For example, X11R7.5 has X Server
version 1.7 and the latest X11R7.6 has X Server version 1.9 [1] which
clears the confusion.
