Let's back up a bit first. What happens when you start X11? Does a window manager open? You need to have an environment in which evolution can run. If you start X11 and you let it start up you need to open an xterm shell (much like a Mac Terminal shell).Window managers are called from your .xinitrc file. In an xterm shell you would type evolution. No quotes no start, just the word, and hit return. Evolution should start.
