Sending volumes of logs such as that, is best left on a webserver.

That e-mail address is for bugs in packages for Unstable, *not* stable.
The error you're suffering from "no screens found", is an error in the way
you have configured X11.
What you need to do is the following (as root user):
dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xfree86
and when the question about FrameBuffers arrives answer "NO" to it. Then
just keep going until you have answered the remaining questions, and
startx.
