The first thing to do is to try the startx, then have a look at the
/var/log/Xorg.0.log file and see what it has to say.

If this is an upgrade, keep in mind there was a big change in X between
RHEL5 and RHEL6.  You might even try renaming your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
file and trying the startx again.  The new X often doesn't need an
xorg.conf and will actually have issues if it tries to obey what's in
an older xorg.conf.

Give it a try and let us know.
