I see now error there (it maybe displayed on the startx output). However, did you change Driver "Keyboard" to Driver "kbd" in your xorg.conf ? That's needed in the latest Xorg release.

That's a "known" thing, it's just a missing thing that won't affect X (it's realated with fonts, guess next version will include it but anyway, you don't have to worry about it)
