OK...so you see no errors. But, what do you see?

id:3:initdefault:
This is giving you a non-GUI login prompt. You then login as a user and
at the prompt type "startx". The screen may flash, a "X" appears in the
center of the screen for a moment or two, and then you see an image
appear that tells you the window manager is starting up....and you are
then in your X environment.
You then logout of your X session by clicking on the "Red Hat" and
clicking on the logout selection.
This brings you back to the command line prompt and you logout again
from there.
You now are back at the system login prompt. You login as "root" this
time and when you get to the command line prompt you type "startx" and
then describe what you see.....
