You need to adjust your PATH variable so that the X binaries are findable.
I think you want to add /usr/X11R6/bin to your path, then it'll work.

You shouldn't have to be in the X11 bin dir to get things to work. Also,
having '.' in your path can be a security problem.

If X runs, you're mostly there.

Take care,
