Check your log file (usually /var/log/messages) for details.  The other 
option is to try starting it by hand and see what errors appear.
Once you get some detail, either search for that error message on google or 
your favorite search engine, or post it here and someone can help point you 
in the right direction.

In the logs (you can just 'less /var/log/messages') search for xinitd and 
see what that line says...

This is the usual format for syslog messages

Feb  6 00:53:34 HOST DAEMON: MESSAGE

date and time, host, daemon, then the log message from that daemon.
