First, your /usr/bin/Xorg has been linked against an old libudev, so creating a symlink to a new library will inevitably cause breakage. I suggest reverting all changes while you can. Second, X is not a critical package and you shouldn't mess with udev just because X fails to launch. Regarging working versions, xorg-server 1.12.2 and systemd-tools 184-2 work together just fine.
