after typing startx there is a pause then in the center of the screen "No Input Signal" appears and lasts for 1-2 seconds. Next there is some output to the screen that begins with
XFree86 Version ....
and the last 2 lines are
/root/.Xclients: line 8: /root/.Xclients-default: Success waiting for X server to shut down
then back to the command prompt. The last two lines do not appear in the log file

I can see no errors. I cleared out the XFree86.log file and tried to boot as root. I exported the contents to another file and cleared the contents of the log file again.

OK...so you see no errors. But, what do you see?
From what I can tell you have your system to startup at level 3. Thatis your /etc/inittab has the following line.
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.....
