Looks like your keymap is your problem this time, but I'm not sure, as it says it's falling back to a default. Are you getting a gray-ish screen with a black X in the center for a second or two before X dies, or does it not even get that far?
Two other things that cross my mind:1) Make sure you have a window manager installed ("apt-get install icewm" will do), as if X can't find a wm, it'll die, IIRC.
2) Are you sure you finished the installation? You might want to run "apt-get update" followed by "apt-get upgrade" (or even "apt-get dist-upgrade"), or run "dselect" and update, select, install, configure. If you have any incompletely installed packages, this should fix them.
