startx should start the X server, then GNOME and put you in run level 5.
You don't have to do any changes to startx. It is a script located in
/usr/X11R6/bin/startx. If you are getting an error, you may have to configure
xorg.conf for your monitor using system-config-display. I would try that
first and then issue startx after it is configured.
