On my system startx is available in /usr/X11R6/bin/startx.
However, I could not get startx to work correctly after my last update.
It appears that the -multiwindow option was preventing my X from
coming up. (Looks like the -multiwindow and the :0 parms are in
conflict).
I fixed it by creating a ~/.xserverrc and having the following in it:
exec X :0 -clipboard
In that same directory, there is a startxwin.bat and startxwin.sh, which you
could also investigate.
