Try a
$xorgconfig
for start?
It should need no path specified. The same stands for startx. Normally,
xorgconfig enables you to start an X-Window session. Which window
manager do you use? Try WindowMaker for start. And another hint, the
root directory and the user directory should contain an .xinitrc file,
which you will find in /usr/X11 /lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc. Edit and tweak
.xinitrc.
For WMaker add the line wmaker &
For KDE add the line startkde
for GNOME add the gnome-session line
Best regards,
Bogdan
Try to edit your .xinitrc
