Here is my .X.err fille:

Fatal server error:
Cannot move old log file ("/var/log/Xorg.0.log" to
"/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old"

You probably have run Xorg as root some time. Remove the logfile
manually, and try again.

This is unsatisfactory, I know.

Please create a bug report, even if this works. startx shouldn't crash.
