As Adam says, your problem is this, almost certainly (there are no (EE) 
errors in the logs, which would be X reporting an error).

Also as Adam said, signal 11 is a segmentation fault, which can be thought of 
as a generic crash, much like a GPF under Windows. Anyway, what you do with an 
error you don't understand is, you search Google for it. Top two hits on 
searching for the first error are hits on the debian-x mailing list, and the 
top hit tells you what might well be your problem, that you're explicitly 
loading "radeon". This might not be the problem, but read 
http://www.google.com/search?q=Symbol+xf86CreateI2CBusRec+from+module%2Fusr%2FX11R6%2Flib%2Fmodules%2Fdrivers%2Fradeon_drv.o+is+unresolved%21 
and have a look at the top hit (and subsequent ones).

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "We're all mad here. I'm mad.
You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
