Problem opening windows in X as an user

I can't start any X programs with user account. For example when trying to start Firefox it gives me an error:

(firefox-bin:7808): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

The user belongs to the following groups:

wheel network video audio optical users

What could cause this?

I start X as root. It doesn't start as an user.
