startx, lower case.  Also, in /usr/X11R6, X should be a symlink to the
correct server.  You didn't say anything about your XF86Config file, or
using any of the interactive configuration tools.  Did you rewire the
Space Shuttle without reading the man pages?

Also, a squirrell seems to have been chewing on your phone line just as
your message was transmitted, there's some line noise in it.  ;-)
