I guess that you have errors in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. Look for a file /home/<your user name>/.xsession-errors It should contain errors messages from X. Wild guess(because it happened to me today): If you just accepted the default suggestions when you were configuring X and also did not reboot, your mouse is probably not working. This causes X to abort, because X without a pointing device is pretty useless. But this is just a wild guess. Read the error messages to get a better idea of what is wrong.
