Hi !
Well... probably it didn't worked beacause you don't have gnome installed on your system. If you have gnome and you put "exec gnome-session" (without the quotation marks
) in you ~/.xinitrc file it should start gnome when you type startx.
Else, if you have kde installed on your system, you should replace "exec gnome-session" with "exec startkde".
It is not necesarely to reinstall your system. Just install kde or gnome (depending on what's your favourite) and put in your ~/.xinitrc "exec gnome-session" or "exec startkde" according to your dektop manager.
I also recomend you, after you installed your system, to run "xorgcfg -textmode" to configure xorg (your x server).
That's all.
Have fun!
