Try

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "false"
EndSection

Also note that according to the logs you were using
/tmp/tmpxb7gJsxorg.config, not /etc/X11/xorg.conf, so this looks like
the logs from system-config-display or some other tool on a temporarry
and perhaps modified xorg.conf. Make sure you match the logs with the
tested xorg.conf otherwise you may be hunting the wrong issue.
