Are you looking at the right log file, not the one from the new X server
after the reboot?

Maybe you could post the full dmesg, Xorg.0.log and X server stderr
output (should be captured in the gdm/kdm log file) from trying with
modeset=1.

With modeset=1 it most likely is a kernel (configuration) problem.
