Since xorg-server 1.16, X is rootless by default (see
https://www.archlinux.org/news/xorg-server-116-is-now-available/).

This doesn't work out of the box with proprietary drivers, so create a
file */etc/X11/Xwrapper.config* with the content *needs_root_rights =
no* (see
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Rootless_Xorg_.28v1.16.29).
