How did you add Xorg? It looks like you are completely missing drivers. 
Did you reboot the computers after the XOrg was added.

Look also Xorg.0.log file

(II) Bus 6 non-prefetchable memory range:
    [0] -1    0    0xc0200000 - 0xc02fffff (0x100000) MX[B]
(--) PCI:*(1:5:0) ATI Technologies Inc Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE) 
rev 0, Mem @ 0xc8000000/27, 0xc0100000/16, I/O @ 0x9000/8
Missing output drivers.  Configuration failed.

It is complaining that the drivers are missing.
Try fresh installation and try to do installation without X and then add 
Xorg as
pkg_add -r . Reboot and then try
Xorg -configure to create the initial xorg.conf.new file

Then probe with

X -config /root/xorg.conf.new (use complete path even if you are in root 
directory)

Then if the server gets fired

cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

As far as I see you are just missing drivers there are no other problems 
like the one with resolution or default depth

Good Luck
OKO
