Could be a variety of things, check your configuration.

What version of XFree are you using?

*grins*

1) you cannot lauch X from a su to root -- the display id will not be correctly assigned.

2) Your XF86Config file must contain a reference to at least one display

3) depending on the version of X you are running there are a number of files to check.
