It appears Xorg can't open the GPU device:

[ 125.196] (EE) [drm] Failed to open DRM device for pci:0000:01:00.0: -19
[ 125.196] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory
[ 125.196] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for modesetting
[ 125.196] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory

which may or may not be related to this kernel error:
