i think you've done some filtering of message for us, which hides the
relevant error message. when you run X, you get a large list of messages.
they are not junk, and the last one is not the important one. you should
try logging all these messages, and then read them carefully. how you log
them?

start x using the following (assuming your shell is 'bash'):

startx > /tmp/x.log 2>&1

if your shell is 'tcsh', then:

startx >& /tmp/x.log

after you get the prompt again, look at the file /tmp/x.log and read it
carefully. look for mode line errors - that's a common cause of such a
problem. after you get done with this, just learn the rule - when you get
lots of messages - don't look for the last one first - look at them
top-to-buttom.
