Maybe this has something to do with /etc/X11/Xserver:

[12:10:38 /tmp]$ cat /etc/X11/Xserver          
/usr/bin/X11/XF86_SVGA
Console

The first line in this file is the full pathname of the default X server.
The second line shows who is allowed to run the X server:
RootOnly
Console      (anyone whose controlling tty is on the console)
Anybody
[12:10:58 /tmp]$
