>From what I saw of your log file it seems to me that you don't have an xserver problem. What about a window manager? Check /etc/X11/windowmanagers (file name can be slightly different) or /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager (symlink to some window manager). Usually xinit checks your configuration if it thinks your config is wrong it will start xterm if available if not it will just stop. I had a problem that a program to check for a valid config was missing and hence it never wanted to start a window manager. You can actually disable the checking in some file under /etc/X11/?? (but I can't remember right now, and don't have my computer handy).
