pietinger,

We have seen in this topic, as well as many others, that a reinstall fixes nothing.

borje2,

You make helping difficult when you do changes that we know nothing of.
Please don't do that. If you have an idea, tell us about it before you do it so we can decide if its a good idea or not.

As you have libinput installed, tho log you shared must be out of date.

As pietinger, says, it looks like you have your global xinitrc missing.
Rebuild xorg-server to fix that.

Apology for interrupt the conversation flow. But I feel something was lost in translation

Because this session was assuming packages was installed in its default state, but I think may be something happen that may have cause this assumption were incorrect.

May I suggest we start examine packages integration first before proceed to debug configuration.

Let's start with checking if the dev-libs/libinput package

borje2,

The # at the start of every line means that the line will be treated as a comment.
That's a good place to start.

We need to find the Xorg.0.log file

For root, it will be at /var/log/Xorg.0.log
For a normal user it will be at .local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log in the users home directory, or /home/borje2/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log for the user borje2.

Find them both and delete them if they exist.

Now try startx.

That should generate a new Xorg.0.log track it down and share it.

-- edit --

pingtoo's debug information request is good too.
