I didn't see any errors in the log about X failing or something. I'd suggest 
the following:

1) remove/rename any existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf
2) create a new dummy user
3) do a clean boot into runlevel 3
4) login as the dummy user, do a startx
5) see X fail, copy /var/log/Xorg.0.log
6) post the whole file for us to see

While you're at it, replace the mouse with some ordinary stupid USB or PS/2 
mouse for the experiment, just to be on the safe side. ;-)

The Xorg.0.log should contain (EE) lines which should give a clue what went 
wrong. If there are none, try to startx with a "--logverbose n" option, 
choosing n as 4,5,6,...

Also, when you do a startx, make sure X isn't actually running properly in F7 
console or elsewhere... ;-)

HTH, :-)
