Ok,
in console (not in X) type 'X > /var/log/x.out 2>&1' w/c.
Normally you can't see what it is doing and nothing will be happen
(system halted)
so press CTRL-C.
Now start X (startx).
Read the created file '/var/log/x.out' with your tex-editor.
Is there a message:
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
>Error Cannot open "/var/tmp/server-.....xkm"
