What startx script are you using?  The /usr/X11/bin/startx script?
Did you pass it any arguments?

The /usr/X11/bin/startx script doesn't start "gdm".  Instead it just
seems to start up the Xserver with a terminal program.  If you want
to start GNOME via startx I would think you need to run it with
arguments - something like:

   startx /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session

If you want to run GDM, you need to make sure the GDM service is
running "svcadm enable gdm".  If GDM fails to start up after
enabling the service, then you can turn on debug in the GDM
configuration, and it will send debug output to the syslog
(/var/adm/messages).  Such debug information would likely help diagnose
any problems you have with starting GDM.
