It's the file /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config that you need to modify. It's the
first line that needs changed. At the moment your's will most likely read:
allowed_users=rootonly
nice_value=-10
Change the first line to read:
allowed_users=console
And all should be well.
Well, that's what worked here, at any rate. In case it matters, I do not
use a display manager, preferring to start X via the command line.
