I think the main reason X isn't starting is because it can't figure out what/where your mouse is. I've seen these last 2 xauth burps before and they haven't kept X from loading. Also, that r128_drv error could be a problem, but I think it should just use the SVGA drive if that one fails. What type of mouse? Can you send that mouse part of your XF86Config file?
