In what way does it "not work"? I would expect:
$ startx &> x.output
to wait a while, write some output to the file x.output and then return
to the shell prompt on your system (because X is broken). The
information written to the x.output file is what we're after here.

Don't do this. It won't work until you've fixed your X configuration.
