In that case, it's almost certainly a problem with your .xsession
file.  Is it different than your .xinitrc?

A lot of people don't need to configure X to have it "just work."  
The tool you're looking for is "xorgcfg" or "xorgconfig", but your 
configuration is probably fine if it works with startx.
