Try reconfiguring the xserver package to allow console users to start x.

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 (I think the option is in this package)

Or edit your /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc to remove the option for root only
(I can't find the exact docs or option but I remeber it's somewhere
around there).
