You can get some diagnostics on what's happening with startx as follows:
$ startx >X.out 2>X.err
Any console output generated by startx will go to X.out and any error
messages will go to X.err. If it still hangs you can reboot and look in
those files for any clues as to what's going wrong.
Done that - managed to read them with vi (that was a bit of a challenge for
me) X.out had setup info and then no warnings or anything, X.err was empty.
No lines containing "EE" (indicating an error)?
Could you post the X.out file?
