You should be able to uncomment the line for dbe extension.
Also since the log shows it is failing when it is trying to detect the screen

You could try reducing the default colour depth as an experiment
DefaultColorDepth 16
and you could try selecting a monitor with a higher refresh rate. (so long as
your hardware will support it)
