Look it up, it [startx] was deprecated for quite some time.

* Only the gdm3 display manager supports running X as a non-privileged
user in stretch. Other display managers will always run X as
root. Alternatively, you can also start X manually as a non-root user
on a virtual terminal via startx.
When run as a regular user, the Xorg log will be available from
~/.local/share/xorg/.
