Cannot startx/xinit as non-root user. It worked for a while, stopped working, started working, and now just stopped again. Just plain "X" works.

Is your home directory ~, owned and writable by you? (it should be)
EDIT: being in the group video will also get rid of one of the errors in your log (but I don't think that that is the one causing it)

There's the option that your xinitrc calls stuff that fails or doesn't exist.
Your window manager or desktop environment start script should be the last thing in ~/.xinitrc
All you need (for twm) would be:
#!/bin/sh
exec twmOffline
Added to
root tty disk lp kmem wheel log locate games dbus hal video audio optical floppy storage power users aarongroups and it still doesn't work

Erased everything in my ~/.xinitrc and it still doesn't work.

Actually, just sticking in twm works. Hmm. Both no .xinitrc and exec startfluxbox don't work.

Yeah.. Well changing exec startfluxbox to exec fluxbox fixes is.
Though, there is obviously an underlying configuration/permission issue as no .xinitrc (using /etc/xinit/xinitrc) does not work. I'm not crying about it.. suggestions are still welcome to fix. Thanks.
