   All that says to me is that the config file used has a bad error in the 
   "first line" as it configured nothing period.

So it might seem except that both /etc/X11/XF86Config and XF86Config-4
are backup copies. Further, they fully support root's starting X.

Further, I can readily create new account that start x just fine. It's
only when I reboot that they can no longer start X.

I concluded from this that the boot process sets a value somewhere that
prevents X from starting. Perhaps an authentification problem, but the
log above sure offers no clue.
