Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: Server must be run as root

[kbk@dmi.min.dk (Karsten Bolding)]

Hi 

Just installed a new machine and updated my old one, so same versions on both.

When I try to start x (startx) as a normal user on the new machine I get:

XFree86 Version 3.3 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: Jun  2 1997
	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)
Operating System: Linux 2.0.21 i486 [ELF] 
Configured drivers:
  SVGA: server for SVGA graphics adaptors (Patchlevel 0):

Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: Server must be run as root


When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages

_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
giving up.
xinit:  Connection refused (errno 111):  unable to connect to X server
xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.

Now I wonder what permissions and where I have to make changes.
