Yes, installs that include X and a desktop will default to runlevel 5.
Before trying 'startx' , do 'init 3' as root. That should shut down
the existing session, but whatever is hanging on startup may prevent a
clean shutdown too. So startx may complain that there is still a lock
file and you may have to remove it manually and run startx again.
