(II) LoadModule: "xtt"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libxtt.a
Duplicate symbol TT_FreeType_Version in
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libxtt.a:xttmodule.o Also defined in
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libfreetype.a

Looks like two modules are butting heads trying to do the same thing. 
I'm not familiar with "xtt", but I think
that only"freetype" is used in typical setups.  Edit /etc/X11/XF86Config
- probably towards the top there's a "Module" section that contains
lines like

Load "xtt"
Load "freetype"

Delete or comment out (#) the "xtt" line and see if that helps.
