Here is my .X.err fille:

Fatal server error:
Cannot move old log file ("/var/log/Xorg.0.log" to
"/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old"

You probably have run Xorg as root some time. Remove the
logfile manually, and try again.

Which log file? I have tried removing both in various
combinations. This has happened to me before and I forget what
the solution is.

does being able to run it by vnc tell you anything?
