I use startx to start my graphical sessions after booting to runlevel 3 / multiuser, and have no problem. I've seen this problem, but not recently. I think it means that your user is not in the proper groups to be allowed to switch to root when running X. As root, run cat /etc/group | grep pdupre Are you in the wheel, video, and audio groups? I think if you add yourself to those groups, X will start for you as a normal user.
