Are you sure?  I don't recall off the top of my head what the 
sysinstall secure levels correspond to, but I think you can only run X 
in securelevel 0 or -1.  There is a FAQ entry coming out about this.  
It may be on the online version already.
See the init(8) manpage for the definitive information.
