First, your log shows that you are being bitten by a bug found in the common
layer's mode validation shortly after 4.3's release.  The work-around is to
specify, in your XF86Config, the virtual resolution you want, which, I assume,
in this case would be 'Virtual 1024 768'.  `man XF86Config` for placement.

Secondly, it appears from your description that you are using the kernel's
buggy atyfb to provide the non-X console.  Switch to vesafb instead, or no
fbcon at all.
