Ashley,

root is tring to open X on :0.0.  Are you sure that is where X is running?
login in as root and look in /var/gdm and see the files X is using
I have

# ls -l
total 8
-rw-r-----  1 root root 45 Jun 26 15:23 :0.Xauth
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 38 Jun 26 15:24 :0.Xservers

If 0.0 is right for you , you'd have
# ls -l
total 8
-rw-r-----  1 root root 45 Jun 26 15:23 :0.0.Xauth
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 38 Jun 26 15:24 :0.0.Xservers
