'ps -C X' might.

This bit of the log is pretty wild:
(II) modeset(0): glamor X acceleration enabled on llvmpipe (LLVM 6.0, 128 bits)
I'm really struggling to think of a world in which that would be a good
thing, fb's almost certainly going to be faster, and as the llvmpipe-
on-gbm support is pretty new I can easily imagine it being buggy. What
happens if you run with this in (or as) your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
---
Section "Device"
Identifier "modesetting"
Driver "modesetting"
Option "AccelMethod" "none"
EndSection
