Looks like you may have a *.conf file that doesn't match your hardware .

run

find /etc/X11 -name '*.conf' -print

, move or delete all files that command lists.
then try starting X again.

If starting without any *.conf file also fails, post lspci -k , dmesg , latest xorg log and contents of ~/.xinitrc .
