You might want to use 'sux' rather than 'su -'. It seems you logged in as your self either in XDM or from console then ran startx. That means X is running for your user. If you in a terminal su to root, root does not automatically get privileges to talk to your X server. 'sux' is a command that will sort out the X side for you when su'ing to root.
How do I fix this?
