X no longer starts. XKB: Failed to compile keymap

Whenever I try to start x, I get this error:

XKB: Failed to compile keymap
Keyboard initialization failed. This could be a missing or incorrect setup of xkeyboard-config.
(EE)
Fatal server error:
(EE) Failed to activate core devices.(EE)

According to the wiki this has to do with my disk being full. I indeed did have this problem, as seen in this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=193400
but I fixed this. However, my X still won't start.

So far I've tried generating a new xorg.conf, reinstalling Xorg altogether as well as xkbcomp. I'm at a loss here, and I don't know what to do. I don't run any desktop environment, but I do need X for XBMC.

Thanks in advance!

Updated to the latest xorg packages and I'm still getting the error. Still haven't got a clue on what it might be.

Here's a paste of /var/log/Xorg.0.log, if that gives you any more clues. Thanks in advance smile

Post your xorg.conf

Have you tried starting X without the configuration file?

In fact I did, and I got the exact same result. But here's my xorg.conf nonetheless:
