X Window : Newbie

Hi there

I'm trying to run startx from the console after I logged in as a normal user.This doesn't seem to work.I have already run XF86Config as root, and if I do startx from root, X Windows starts up fine.Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Does a normal user use the same XF86Config file as root?
