Unfortunately (or fortunately), I see no (EE) in your logs, which,
indicates that there isn't any error in X starting up. I can't think
of a reason why it doesn't work, though; sorry. :-(
You could, of course, just verify that X can, indeed work, by trying
this:
X -configure # generates an xorg.conf
X -config <generated xorg.conf>
I am just groping in the dark, though; this might not help at
all. Hope someone can come up with better recommendations.
