Which xorg configuration is this? Whichever it is, it is not the one
used by Xorg given the error logs. 

The above states that it is loading module "nv", which is the xorg
driver for nvidia chipsets. If you are using the nvidia driver, it
should say:

(II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so
(II) Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
        compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.7676
	Module class: XFree86 Video Driver
(II) NVIDIA dlloader X Driver  1.0-7676  Fri Jul 29 13:00:04 PDT 2005
(II) NVIDIA Unified Driver for all NVIDIA GPUs
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0
(--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device
(--) Chipset NVIDIA GPU found
......

check to make sure the xorg configuration you posted below is the same 
one at /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and that the error log above is from the 
failed attempt at starting X.
