Some process (in this case, the X Window System) which is configured to
start in your /etc/inittab file is failing.
The /etc/inittab file lists processes which init is supposed to keep
running. When those processes die, init restarts them. If the program
is broken such that it crashes on restart, init will notice that it has
had to restart the program lots of time within a very short period
(hence the "respawning too fast") and will instead shut off the process
for a while; then every five minutes (an eternity in computer time), it
gives it another chance in case things have gotten better.
Of course I would think that if X were constanty dying you'd have
noticed, but you don't say so in your mail; if you don't need to run X
on this machine, you can avoid the issue by running it in runlevel 3.
If you do need to run X, chances are that whatever is causing X to die
is also leaving some sort of complaint in one of your log files, but
without more information I'm only guessing.
