Oh, it's that easy? I would suggest 'please post the full text of the
error message along with the output of dpkg -l' before I venture any guess
to the 
reason of that error (i.e. what does 'does not recognize' mean, and are
all 
required packages really installed?). 

And I didn't know there was some conflict or other interaction between 
startx and xdm. startx uses xinit to launch the X server, so the xinit man
page 
might be more appropriate..
