Trouble with running X

[Abhay Watwe <abhay@fdi.com>]

Hi there:

I am an newbie linux user.  I installed X on my PC and I am able to start up
the X server as root.  I can even get some xterms going.  However if I try 
to start X as myself then "startx" gives me the following error: (Any help
would be most appreciated)

	If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
	than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
	problems.  (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
