you need to specify and unused display to start x on. In that instance, I picked 4 because it looks like there's something hanging out of his nose if you turn your head to the side. That's about it.
The reason for that you are not able to login to X as root is that your 'GDM' doesn't allow you to do so. To change this, run 'gdmconfig' in X (do a 'su' to become root) and change the options to allow root to login. Restart your GDM, you are done.
PS: It is not advisble to work as root under normal circumstances.
