David,
Try 'startx 2> oops'. '2' is the file descriptor for standard
error, which is where the error output goes to. You might also want to
check the contents of the file '$HOME/.xsession-errors' - but be careful :
this might contain errors / statuses from the last time you had X running
successfully.
