If it was my laptop then before a complete re-install I would boot into level 3 (non-graphical) and try to un-install all the X11 packages.  I would then try to re-install the packages I normally use which would most likely bring in X11 because of dependencies.  It might not get you back to running but if you're going to re-install it's worth a shot.  Just a thought...
