If you are using bash for your shell
    startx 2>&1 > filename

or if you are using t/csh
    startx >& filename

or if you don't know which shell you are using the following will start
sh and then run startx.
    sh -c 'startx 2>&1 > filename'

To find out which shell you are using
    finger loginname
