Probably a memory allocation error <g>
If you can capture error output to a file, do this and post it:
startx -- 1>startx.log 2>&1 &
You might also run strace and show any relevent output, usually near the
end of the run (****DON'T**** post the whole thing), which can provide
illumination:
strace startx
