Have you verified that the link is present on your system. (e.g: chdir /usr/X11R6/bin ln -s XF86_SVGA X (substituting the appropriate X server for XF86_SVGA, if you for instance have ATI card S3 card, W32 card, etc..) That's where I would start. Then, if that doesn't work, maybe do something like sh -x /usr/X11R6/bin/startx ,and figure out exactly where the script is failing. (startx is just a shell script).
