No need to change permissions in your case. Mine are:

-rws--x--x 1 root root 1906712  2. Nov 13:11 /usr/bin/Xorg

The important thing is that the s bit (set user ID on execution) is set. Otherwise you get permission denied errors, as shown in your first post.

Now it appears that you have a wrong version of libglx. What is the output of:

rpm -qa | grep xorg-x11

? Maybe someone having a x86_64 system can compare the versions (I am on i586).

I experimented this problem at past when i installed nvidia propietary driver in openSuSE 11.2 and openSuSE 11.4. I solved this permissions problem reinstalling xorg-x11-server or executing startx with root.

First solution:

zypper install -f xorg-x11-server

Second solution:

su -c startx -

I hope it helps you,
