Created attachment 160242 [details] Xorg.0.log startx with normal user.
Please invest a bit more time in filing bugs. A bug title like "x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.501" is too unspecific. I'm not familiar with the ATI drivers, but the Xorg log file does not include any error output and given that you can start X as root, this likely is a configuration problem. Did you try your luck in forums.g.o or the user mailing list, first? These are our support channels, bugzilla isn't...
