Entered 'startx' instead of password for SUin terminal. X-org server authorization problems

Feel like banging my head. Below are the messages
1. xauth: file /home/san2ban/.serverauth.1188 does not exist
2. xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/san2ban/.Xauthority

Does this mean I have to re-install xorg-server?

For SU, if I type 'startx' as password, it should have just said wrong password. Is it not?Is this behaviour OK?latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=fY2ePJdL0_U:x4HI5f59mng:F7zBnMy latest?i=fY2ePJdL0_U:x4HI5f59mng:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=fY2ePJdL0_U:x4HI5f59mng:gIN9vFwfY2ePJdL0_U
