I'm not the worlds greatest at X problems but a little more info might
help.  What steps have you taken to configure X?  What window manager
are you using?  As a regular user try running the following command -
$ startx > X.log 2>&1

This will create a file X.log which will contain the output of startx.
Post that information to the list.  Maybe I or someone else will be able
to sort things out.
