There was indeed an update, a few weeks ago, IIRC even a security update, 
which updated X11, but not the drivers, and stopped X from loading, just like 
described here by the OP. Took me half a day of googling and thinking and 
sweating to find and solve it. Here is what I remember:

First of all this seems to be a problem which appeared only with x86_64, not 
with the 32 bit version.

I had xorg-x11-7.2-whatever and the update installed xorg-x11-7.3-whatever. 
The update should have pulled in the xorg-x11 driver etc modules for 7.3 too, 
because the 7.2 driver modules do not work with xorg-x11-7.3 (I think that is 
even mentioned somewhere in the 7.3 sources)

(The 32 bit versions are for whatever reasons still on 7.2, thus this problem 
does not show.)

So after the upgrade I had a mix of 7.3 and 7.2

- xorg-x11-7.3-whatever
- xorg-x11-server-7.3-whatever
- xorg-x11-driver-input-7.2-whatever
- xorg-x11-driver-video-7.2-whatever
- etc.

and about the same errors as mukul. After upgrading all other xorg-x11 parts 
to 7.3 the error disappeared and X came up fine again.

Now I have all on 7.3.x :

- xorg-x11-server-7.3-10
- xorg-x11-7.3-9
- xorg-x11-driver-video-7.3-12
- xorg-x11-driver-input-7.3-8
etc.

HTH,
Matt
