Dale,
Even if you go to failsafe, you are still running a session on the
server.
AND, you are already running X.
So:
1) No need to run 'startx', as X is already running.
2) typing 'startx' in a failsafe session is going to try to
launch X on the server, because that is where you are
running it.
I think your real problem is in the desktop environment that you have
set for default. if you dont choose 'failsafe', which disp environment
is it trying to launch? Choices could be Gnome, KDE or Icewm.
