Do you know what version you updated from?

This looks like the xserver is crashing whilst trying to initialize WGL.
You might try adding '-nowgl' to the XWin options.
You may find that updating your graphics driver, if possible, resolves this.
(Since this seems to happen with some graphics drivers, there is code in
the X server which attempts to catch crashes in WGL initialization and
turn WGL off, but that doesn't seem to be getting control in this case)
