jschiwal is right. In general, there are *very* few reasons to log in as root on a regular basis (hint: sudo is your friend) and fewer still to actually start an X session as root.
That having been said, to have X start automatically when you boot and present you with a graphical logon prompt, follow the instructions in the BLFS chapter on
configuring X Window System Components, under the section "Setting up XDM." This of course assumes that you've already properly followed the preceding instructions in BLFS to install a functional Xorg.
As for making the system log in a user automatically, XDM - last time I checked - doesn't have this capability. You'd have to use another display manager, such as KDM or GDM, for that. Installation instructions for both of those are in the BLFS book; see their man pages for information on their configuration files, which should include help on how to enable automatic logins.
