It depends on what you mean by starting X11.

If you are referring to the display manager then the entry that starts it is

# Run xdm in runlevel 5
x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon

from ./etc/inittab.

prefdm is a shell script which will invoke your favorite display manager, usually gdm of Fedora, which in turn will start the Xorg display server.
