Try (as root):
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-common
That'll rerun the debconf configuration on the xserver-common package.
First it'll ask if you want debconf to manage the X server wrapper
configuration file. It's best to say yes here.
Then it'll ask which users have permission to run the X server. It's
probably currently set to Root Only. Changing it to Console Users Only
does, well, exactly what it sounds like - lets you start X as a regular
user, but only if you're logged in at a console.
The other settings can be left as their default values.
Once that's done, you should be able to log in as a regular user and
startx.

Some pirates achieved immortality by great deeds of cruelty or

Some achieved immortality by amassing great wealth. But the captain had
long ago decided that he would, on the whole, prefer to achieve
immortality
by not dying.
