maybe you need to tell the system which window manager to use, and
which apps to start? Keep in mind that a RULE-ified Red Hat system has
much less configuration done beforehand.

What is the content of $HOME/.xinitrc (assuming that kdrive uses that
too)? Is it empty, missing or with wrong permissions?

If missing, try to put inside it:

exec /usr/bin/X11/xterm &
exec /absolute/path/to/fluxbox

and let us know.

(in ANY case, until this is solved, launch startx like :startx >&
x_log_file, so x_log_file will contain all errors, complaints,
whatever)
