What are you trying to accomplish? Is it build a desktop or run an x-app on a server? I ask as many people get confused over the relationship between an X server and client. If its a desktop then yes you will need to do a startx of some sort on the machine in question. If its run an x app on a remote server then you shouldn't be doing a startx at all on the server, as the application you are trying to start is the x client and the server runs on your desktop.
