Let's not do that yet!
I believe that the reason you get a totally blank screen when you just
do a startx is because you have an empty .xinitrc.
Since you have a .xinitrc the system one dosn't run 'cause it thinks
you want to replace it with your own, but yours doesn't do anything.
Thus a plain gray screen.
Try deleting it and then do a startx.
