It looks to me as if X has initialised and written as much to the log file
as one would expect it to. There is only one line in my log after the "Adding
extended input device" line, a line about "Could not init font path element
blurgle". AIUI the next stage is starting the window manager, so it may well
be a WM-related problem.
Signal 4 is "Illegal instruction". If you do have a WM installed, try a
different one. If that makes the problem go away, you should probably report
a bug in your current WM, including your hardware details.
