I don't understand how the PS1 prompt could be the problem.  None of the 
X startup scripts use it AFAIK.

Are you sure there is not something wrong with your XF86Config file?

You say that if you comment out the one line that sets the PS1 variable 
in your ~/.bashrc that X starts up OK, but when you have it set it doesn't?
