If your startx does not startup automatically means when you try to init default is 5(X) then it should show some errors .Please see in those errors( tail -f /var/log/messages) , dmesg and xfree86 logs.The xconfiguration file /etc/X11/xorg.conf . Try to google with that error or post it over here. If there are no errors ,restart your xfs server(font server) service xfs start ldconfig -v Regards Ankush
