Its worked!!! I think it was something in my root directory preventing X from starting. I moved /root and /tmp to different names, logged out, then back in, no go. I rebooted, logged in tried to start X, no go. I moved /tmp back to its original name, rebooted, logged in and X started. Thanks for the help everyone!!
