means you boot up in 'x11',  aka, 'x-windows'. when you log out of 'x-windows',
you return to 'x' display manager prompt.

rex boots init level 3, receives login/password prompt. after login, he types
'startx', 'xstart', gnome, or kde to gain 'x-windows'. when he logs out of
'x-windows', he returns to 'command line' prompt.

tells what you have for 'x-windows' manager.
