The log shows that the server is failing to load an XKB keymap.  Make 
certain that the share/X11/xkb directory is populated.  If not, you should 
install xkeyboard-config (though it might be easier to install xkbdata, 
get things working, and then worry about switching over to 
xkeyboard-config).

If the directory is populated, try commenting out everything under the 
keyboard "InputDevice" section except the Identifier and Driver lines and 
just take the server defaults.  This should work with xkbdata (i.e. the 
file "share/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86" exists), or with xkeyboard-config 
provided you have the aforementioned Option "XkbRules" "base" line.

xkeyboard-config is at:

   http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/XKeyboardConfig

xkbdata is in the "deprecated" directory of the R7.2 distribution.
