Hi,

please use aptitue or at least 'apt-get -u dist-upgrade' for bigger upgrades.
Always check if there are packages that are being held back...

from your logs:
(II) Module bitmap: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
        compiled for 4.3.0.1, module version = 1.0.0
        Module class: XFree86 Font Renderer
        ABI class: XFree86 Font Renderer, version 0.4
(II) Loading font Bitmap
(II) LoadModule: "pcidata"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libpcidata.a
(II) Module pcidata: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
        compiled for 4.2.0, module version = 0.1.0
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.5

   *** If unresolved symbols were reported above, they might not
   *** be the reason for the server aborting.

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11.  Server aborting
----------

I suspect, your xserver-xfree86 package still is 4.2.x, upgrade that one too!

hth.
