I upgraded Etch and my list is the same as you posted. X does works
for root but not for any other user. (Not a good idea to run X as
root tho)

When anyone else logs in the error is
--------------------------------
"Fatal server error:
Cannot move old log file ("/var/log/Xorg.0.log" to
"/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old" -------------------------------

This can be overcome by changing permissions to /var/log to allow the
log to be changed. (Not a very good idea but had to see why the
error occured)

With the log permissions changed, a new error pops up:
-------------------------------
"Fatal server error:
xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set IOPL for I/O (Operation not
permitted)"

XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
-------------------------------

I have not been able to find the reason for this error, yet.

What are the permissions of /usr/bin/X? I have the following:

otoolel@po:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/X
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 18416 2006-05-21 20:53 /usr/bin/X

VT1 root-3-Buddy:~# ls -l /usr/bin/X
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2006-06-05 17:05 /usr/bin/X -> /usr/bin/Xorg*

VT1 root-3-Buddy:~# ls -l /usr/bin/Xorg
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1.6M 2006-05-03 00:01 /usr/bin/Xorg*
