 After completely reinstalling all packages, Xorg starts now.
 Turns out that error messages weren't deadly, and some other 
 inconsistency was.
 
 Message "config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed" is cured by adding 
 the line to xorg.conf:
 Option "AllowEmptyInput" "yes"
 
 Message "failed to set mtrr: No space left on device" doesn't prevent 
 xorg from running. It occurs on the system with the smaller RAM of 1GB.
 I filed separate PR for it: 
 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45066
 
 Please close this PR, since it was caused by some undefined package 
 incompatibility.
 
 Yuri
