X is starting, but it's not finding any clients to run. Try creating a 
file in your home directory named ".xinitrc" (notice the dot) and put 
the single line in it "icewm" (assuming you have icewm installed; 
otherwise use whatever client you want to start, such as "xterm", 
"startkde", "gnome-session", etc).

If that works, you're one step closer.
