Re-run xf86config, and pick the server that matches your video card.
It's important that you pick the one that is intended for your card!
Otherwise, it won't work.
Then do this as root:
rm /usr/X11R6/bin/X
ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/<name-of-your-X-Server-goes-here> /usr/X11R6/bin/X
And then try startx again. X must be a symbolic link to your X server.
It sounds like you don't actually have that link set up.
Good luck!
