This log appears to show a successful startup. You say you only see a
blank screen, but a black background with no cursor is in fact the
default. If you're simply trying to test whether X works, the '-retro'
command line option will paint the old root weave and X cursor. But
otherwise X doesn't draw anything on its own, and you will need to
actually run some X clients against your X server if you want to see
anything.
