That means it was not able to find the GLcore module. Try locating it
with
$ locate libGLcore.so
on my system its in /usr/lib. You could den update the modules path in
xorg.conf or symlink (but the latter is no good idea)
Unfortunately I have no idea which package it belongs to. (Xorg itself?)

It just can't find a lot of fonts. Don't worry, they can be added later.
A recent version of x.org should really behave well despite this. The
"No Screens found" is the usual output xorg gives when it encounters one
or more errors during start up.

You could just try commenting the line 'Load "GLcore"' in xorg.conf.
That's just if you don't need GL-support for things like beryl.
