can't open X display, can't read DISPLAY value...

Since yesterday I've got problem. My aspire one just run ok. I worked on it and after reboot X didn't start.
When I just type "startx" I've got black screen with some pointer in the left-upper corner (not blinking) and I can nothing to do. When I type "exec openbox" there some messages about $DISPLAY.

"echo $DISPLAY" returns nothing. When I set it to the ":0.0" I still got messages like in this topic.

I did small update before thats happend but it wasn't any xorg, xserver etc stuff. Maybe something else are bugged?

Please answer if you know how to fix this.
Thanks in advance
