Rather than running startx as your user from a tty what is the result of
systemctl isolate graphical.target to move to the graphical interface
from the multi-user.target ?

This sure smells like some of the device drivers or utilities X needs
aren't installed. Can you try to install one of the normal desktop
environment groups, e.g.

	dnf groupinstall "Xfce Desktop"

I'm just thinking that "Basic Desktop" is incomplete or is just a
metapackage that one of the other desktops needs and isn't "stand
alone".
