First of all, this should go to -questions, not -bugs. -bugs is for
bug reports and not installation problems.

You haven't selected an X server. You probably haven't configured X at
all. Run XFree86Setup and specify which graphics hardware, mouse and
keyboard you have. XFree86Setup will select the appropriate X server
and symlink it to /usr/X11R6/bin/X, which is what startx expects.
