If there is a server already running on the machine, "X :1" would do it.
I don't know what you meant to run as a user. If it was "startx", that does not work, and has not work for some time now. In fact, I doubt it ever started an empty X server. Bonus: X.org changed their default so that the default background is now black, meaning no flicker until your window opens.
