I don't know anything about linux, but what BSD are you talking about? In FreeBSD startx is part of x11/xorg-apps...so it will start Xorg/X and depending on what graphic card you have also long as you have the correct driver installed you'll get "full hd" as you say. So in short on the BSD what did you install? That what the difference is.
