X11 quits, restarts in a loop, goes nowhere

This may be posted somewhere in the forums (I'm searching now), but I'm having a problem in which, when I try to launch X11, it tries to start, quits immediately, and continues to try to start and quit in a loop.

I tried to reinstall X11, which did no good. I'm looking into completely removing everything X11 and reinstalling in hopes it helps, but if there's a better solution, I could use it.

FYI, I pulled some data from the Console. Here's what I think is the useful data:
