I'm new to use the 'mailing lists' instead of forums,
I'm not sure my e-mail will be sent to all the subscribers of this mailing list. (but I guess it will)
So I want to reply to Eugene here as I can't receive the mail from Eugene but I can see it from:
These error messages are repeated many times in your log:
> Feb 20 15:56:33 (my user name)-(my user name)-MacBook org.x.startx28308: /usr/X11/bin/startx: eval: line 288: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''

If you have a custom ~/.xinitrc file, try hiding it from the startup
sequence (e.g. rename it to ~/.xinitrc-old) and see if X11.app launches.
Same thing for a custom ~/.xserverrc file.
Keep an eye on your
system log for the same error messages.

If X11.app can be launched in a new user account, then there is a
problem in your existing user account. See previous suggestion.
Thank you Eugene,
I have use this command to show hidden files on Mac OS X:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
But I can't find ~/.xinitrc file nor ~/.xserverrc file.
Any reply is highly appreciated!
Thank you all!!
