You have to run it as the user in control of the X session, not as the user
trying to gain access. Run "xhost +localhost" as the user running X.

Did you use kernel-package? It's a wonderful thing for maintaining kernels.
It will help you easily create a .deb package from which you can install your
custom kernel image. And you can create that package as a regular user (one
less thing you have to do as root!).
Once installed, check out
