Ummm, try this command startx &> xerrors.log and then post the contents of the file (xerrors.log) so that we can see what's going on. Also, it will help to see the XF86Config file that you have in the /etc directory in order to debug your problem. Otherwise, it's kind of hard to figure out what's going on.
