I noticed in your original log that you have an existing
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file.  You might want to try renaming that file to
something else, like /etc/X11/xorg.conf.orig, and then try startx
again.  Could be your existing hacked configuration file is no longer
necessary and interfering with Xorg's newer functions for
autoconfiguration.
