Check the permissions on /tmp. If you run X as a normal user (via startx), it creates various temporary files on /tmp. If it doesn't have read/write permission, X won't start. Either "chmod 777 /tmp" (as root) or alternatively, create a group in /etc/group, adding your user[s] to that group, and chmod to allow group read/write permission. John.
