On second thought... does your machine startup with X by default? If so, please paste the line from your /etc/inittab that mentions the X startup. The easiest way to spot this line would be, that the second field (runlevel) would have 5 as the value. The first field would probably be named x and the final field which actually mentions the command to be executed should have the X startup script as the value.
