Actually, in order for me to get X 4.0.1 (using XFree86 and not
Xwrapper) to run when starting it as a non-root user, I had to chmod +s
XFree86.  it was already set as group/owner root.  but still would not run
for a non-root user.  adding the s bit to the permissions made it runable
as a nonroot user.

Just my 2 cents worth.. I found this out yesterday while setting up
dualhead on my G400...

cheers
