Log with root and type
# startx
Should not happens nothing. Ok the try this
# xinit -- :2
If X open ok, your startx script is bad.
If nothing again, send inside your reply 3 files:
1: /etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/xorg.conf
2 and 3: as root,
# cd /var/log
Issue this command ls -lt [Xx]*.?.log|head -2, just like:
root@p2:/var/log# ls -lt [Xx]*.?.log|head -2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root tsgm2 35204 2006-05-03 09:42 XFree86.0.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root tsgm2 35063 2006-05-03 09:42 XFree86.2.log
root@p2:/var/log#
Put this 2 files into your email.
The file name will be different if you use xorg.
Maybe reading more about X will help too:

Think which a good distro for newbies are ubuntu/kubuntu and
knoppix.
Good lucky, :)
