In your XF86Config you have:

And then the X server produces the following error:

 > (EE) R128(0): No Display subsection in Screen section "Screen 1" for depth/fbbpp 1/1

This is pretty clear: the 'DefaultDepth 1' specification in the "Screen"
section is wrong. You probably don't want to run a monochrome X server
do you ?

Try to change that to 'DefaultDepth 24', or if you really want a
monochrome X server add a 'Display' subsection for Depth 1.
