Do you have any sort of highly customized stuff on your system? Maybe an
alternate kernel or customized packages?

Also, is there any way you could get us a backtrace of this happening with
debugging symbols?  libx11 has a -dbg package for you to install, and that
should be sufficient. It'd be nice to have a window on what's actualy going
on, because this is incredibly bizarre. 

Finally, could you send us your /var/log/Xorg.0.log from when the server
tries to start?
