I never tried starting X in runlevel 5. Have you tried starting X from 
runlevel 3? You would type startx from your logged in user terminal.

Level 1 is single user mode and I believe there are not many services 
started. I know network is not started without user intervn. The font 
server and other services needed for X are probably not available in 
level 1. I assume that you could start the services in level 1 with a 
lot of knowledge regarding font servers, x servers and such.
