Though i'm far from being any guru , i did notice the following lines:

472 (EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)

476 FATAL: Module fbcon not found.
477 Setting master
478 record: RECORD extension enabled at configure time.
479 record: This extension is known to be broken, disabling extension now..
480 record: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20500
481
482 waiting for X server to shut down Dropping master

(the numbers are the linenumbers).

Could it be that it's just trying to load the wrong video driver?
