I just installed XFree6-4 
It compiled and installed without errors.

I tried typing "startx"
which worked fine with 3.3.6

This is what I got;

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
XFree86 Version 3.3.6 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: January 8 1999
	If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
	than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
	problems.  (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Operating System: FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE i386 [ELF] 
Configured drivers:
  Mach64: accelerated server for ATI Mach64 graphics adaptors (Patchlevel 0)

Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: Server must be running with root permissions
You should be using Xwrapper to start the server or xdm.
We strongly advise against making the server SUID root!


When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages

X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

-----------------------------------------------------------

Now this message is wrong on two counts - I'm using 4.2 Stable,
and XFree86 is version 4

I know it's got to be something simple.

X does work when fired up as root but dows not go into xfce, which
is how my xinitrc file is set up;

#!/bin/sh
#
#
# Start-up stuff from ~/Desktop/Autostart (as it seems to be the new standard)
#
for i in `ls ${HOME}/Desktop/Autostart/`; do
  if test -x $HOME/Desktop/Autostart/$i; then
     $HOME/Desktop/Autostart/$i &
  fi
done
#
# launch xscreensaver (if available)
#
xscreensaver  -no-splash -lock-mode &
#
# And launch XFce window manager
#
exec xfwm
