startx (all one word!) won't work without a valid /usr/X11/xorg.conf (it's just a script really).

You could try /usr/X11/X -configure or Xorg -configure to automatically generate one but that doesn't look like it's working for you. If xorgconfig and xorgcfg weren't working one last shot is xorgcfg -textmode which will try Xorg -configure among other things. However it's more likely that you haven't got X properly installed or something it depends on, though if you're absolutely sure it's all working http://www-128.ibm.com/developerwork...nuxxwin-i.html is worth a look for a beginners guide to X.
