I have been working perfect with Opensuse 13.1 for some time now, and a couple of days ago, when I switched on the laptop I could not get the logging screen.
All I was getting was the black screen of console mode...
So I decided as a normal user to start X. This did not work.
So I decided to start X as a root, and it worked.
This is the output to startx
And this is the ouput to startx as a normal user:
Any ideas how I can get back the logging screen to normal users and nay reasons why this could have happened?
Thank you for your time and interest.

xinit failed. /usr/bin/Xorg is not setuid, maybe that's the reason?
If so either use a display manager (strongly recommended) or adjust /etc/permissions.localThank you for your time and interest.
