startx will work for any user. Use 'xwmconfig' to setup your default desktop environment.

Did you setup xorg yet with either 'xorgconfig' (Many setup choices) or 'xorgsetup' (quick and dirty)?

You should just post your question to one forum

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=400428

in Slackware the correct runlevel is 4.

I think that startx is there even though you hadn't run xorgconfig, but I could be wrong.
