Since it work as root, it's almost certainly a permissions error that 
has crept in somehow. Let's see...

$ ls -al /var/log
total 1984
drwxr-xr-x  8 root        root   4096 May  4 07:37 .
drwxr-xr-x 14 root        root   4096 Jan 17 20:58 ..
- -rw-r--r--  1 root        root  22395 May  3 14:07 Xorg.0.log
- -rw-r--r--  1 root        root  23927 May  3 10:34 Xorg.0.log.old

Check yours.

Oh, and somehow my directory listings have gotten scrambled, all the 
caps prior to all the lower case. Does anyone remember what to delete 
to free up the locals? I'm too lazy to go looking through the backlog 
of postings... :^)
