Unfortunately, either "xf86config", either "startx" uses a lot of
privileged files/resources. Usually, in big distributions, the workaround
is to use Xdm or Xwrapper to start X.
Sorry: in muLinux, to start XWindow requires the maximum power factor,
plus some extra help from the *afterlife*, if you are a believer
and if there is one :-)
Strictly speaking, XWindows is a network server, like ftpd or httpd,
not a simple arena for your mouse; so normal users are not permitted
to start a monster such X, if 'root' nicely disagrees.
