Thanks!
I have now the '/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config' file with the
content 'needs_root_rights = no'

Still can't start with 'startx' the X Window system.

I looked into kernel log with 'dmesg | less' and searched for NVIDIA.
I found followings:
nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
nvidia disagrees about version of symbol node_data
nvidia: Unknown symbol node_data (err -22)

What can I do to solve this problem?
