Does startx bring up the x server & window manager etc?
If so it's just the runlevel you are booting to.
You will boot to the gui login if you increase the runlevel you boot to,
right now it's probably 3 and it sounds like you want it to be 5.
You can do this at the boot prompt by typing in the boot label followed
by the runlevel you want, typically this would be something like "linux
5" instead of just hitting return or typing linux.
This default runlevel is set in the /etc/inittab file
Change:-
id:3:initdefault:
to :-
id:5:initdefault:
Cheers,ANgus.
