Hmm... this looks very much like a log from the old 6.8.99 monolithic server,
rather than 1.5.3 you should have just installed.

It should be fairly obvious if the X server hasn't been upgraded (icon now has
a little red ring around it, version number is in the 'About...' dialog)

(Note to self: logging version number is a good idea)

Can you clarify how you are starting the X server? by running startxwin.bat?
or just running X from a shell? You might try the alternative and see if that
makes a difference
