o Get a log from /var/log/XFree86.0.log (at the end probably)
o Try to see if /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 is well configured.
o Check if /usr/bin/X11/X is the proper version (and if the access right 
are ok)

If you can't figure out what the hell is going on, ask again ! :-)
(but be more precise about your problem).
