There are some pathname changes so your old xorg.conf file is
incompatible with your new Xorg.  Unless you have local customisations,
deleting it and re-running '-configure' is the easiest solution.

By default, startx will not start a window manager - it just starts an
xterm.  You will need to create $HOME/.xinitrc to make it do more.
A sample .xinitrc is available in /usr/local/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc
