unable to startx

[abdus]

hi everyone, how are you doing, i am facing a problem and i hope someone can help me solve it, i cannot startx either automatically with the service and xinitrc nor by running the command startx itself. i get an error: "the XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: warning: could not resolve keysym XF86BrightnessAuto..."and other error messages they are all about xf86. please help me guys, thank you very much

Plz post your emerge --info
Do you have
INPUT_DEVICES="libinput"
in make.conf
?

I haven't used X for ages - only running Gentoo on some headless servers - but you should look for a log (Xorg.*.log?) and look for errors (EE) - I don't think warnings alone will stop x from starting?

I have the same warnings (Could not resolve keysym XF86???) on archlinux after running startx, I asked on the archlinux forum, and they said these are just harmless warnings.

And my xorg server works all right.

So I guess these warnings have nothing to do with you not being able to run xorg server

thank you for your replies guys, sorry for replying late to you. i will try to discuss each of your replies. i will post the output of emerge --info soon.
for the errors that i get, i cannot have a gui at all, they sound like they do not let the gui appear, i tried to make lightdm the service that starts at login but it didn't work, i did the same with gdm and got the same result. i tried to change .xinitrc between gnome and xfce and run startx but it didn't work.
for arch linux similar error that you mentioned i find it similar and i found this link https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=267893 tried to run that command that takes the output to null but it didn't work

the output of emerge --info is as follows(wgetpaste did not want to work correctly):

i found a weird workaround to get rid of this messages like Could not resolve keysym XF86BrightnessAuto etc.

by using both in INPUT_DEVICES="evdev libinput" in /etc/portage/make.conf

but after install is finished, move /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf elsewhere or according to wiki:

thank you for your answer, i had to reinstall the system. i do not know what to do about checking your answer
