Michael,

I don't think you should be trying to run startx at all.  In fact, I
think you already have one x running, so why run another one?  This is
typically one such thing that needs "root" privileges, and most likely
you can also just use as-is from the host system.

Why won't chromium start for you?  You had it emerged, hadn't you?
