startx is just a wrapper script around xinit -- they both read from the
same X11 config file (XF86Confif-4, in your case).

Thanks for the config file, but it was of no use to me.  What I want to
see from you is evidence that you have checked your *logs* -- namely in
this instance:  /var/log/XFree86.0.log .  That'll tell you (hopefully)
where you are going wrong, and why.

Oh, and *please* *fix* your damn .signature file -- be it an
automatically-generated one, or just plain idiocy on your part -- I'm
still getting Tux *twice* and you still *haven't* reduced your
.signature file to <=5 lines.  If you think I'm being harsh -- wait
until you post elsewhere on some other list;  they'll lynch you more so
than I.
