The correct syntax is startx(one space)--(one space)-quartz
startx -- -quartz
You should try man startx, wether it works or not
try cd /
and then sudo find -iname startx.
This guy should be in /usr/X11R6/bin so it�s faster to just check there

If it exists, check if you $PATH lead to there. Just type $PATH from 
your terminal. if /usr/X11R6/ is not in the list just add it in your 
.xinitrc as shown in my preceeding mail
