Please try to make your subject: lines more informative; many people
skim looking just for messages that they can help with.  those people
will have no idea from a subject of 'trouble' and will probably skip
it.

Second, if you are getting a gray display with an X-shaped mouse cursor,
then your X server is starting just fine.  You just haven't started any
X _clients_.

The command 'startx' will start a few clients for you.  'man startx'
will tell you how to tell it what clients to start.

The differences between the X server and the X clients can be confusing
to novices; you may want to do some research on your own to find out
what you can about it, in order to get the most from the system.
