It was basically a 3.3.x config file modified for 4.x . It's generally a
better idea to start from scratch for 4.x because a lot of cruft is no longer
needed.

Looks like the server starts up fine, but the X session exits immediately
because setup-background is missing - do you try to start that in your
~/.xsession or ~/.xinitrc?
If you don't get the console back, that points at a problem in the framebuffer
device.
