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.
I recall from arlier in the thread that the OP din't know his run level. So after a decent interval with no one suggesting it ...
$ runlevel 3 5
The first digit is prior run level, the second is current.
