I assume you mean as a normal user you CANNOT go to X windows..

this usually is because of the Xwrapper config..

check your /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config , the default should have:
allowed_users=console

if you don't have this file, create it. simple way:

echo "allowed_users=console" >/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config

(as the root user)

startx should work after that, assuming that was the problem, if
it doesn't include the output from startx to help debug the
problem further.
