I use startx to start my graphical sessions after booting to runlevel 3 / multiuser, and have no problem. I've seen this problem, but not recently. I think it means that your user is not in the proper groups to be allowed to switch to root when running X. As root, run cat /etc/group | grep pdupre Are you in the wheel, video, and audio groups? I think if you add yourself to those groups, X will start for you as a normal user.
X doesn't need root any more. There was a big push a few years ago to make that possible. I just tested this by creating a new user, switching to a console, logging in as that user, and running "startx". It immediately started a Gnome session.
