[SOLVED] startx spits out a lot of errors related to xkeyboard

akr41 · 2021-06-12 17:16:01

I just did a clean install of arch and DWM and did startx.

To log startx to used the command:

 startx > ~/startx.log 2>&1

Here is the startx log:
startx.log

Here is the Xorg.0.log
Xorg.0.log

Here is my .xinitrc
.xinitrc

I kept getting:

xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set IOPL for I/O (Operation not permitted)

in my previous install of arch and i3 (doing startx) but I didn't bother much about it.
But now I feel like I need to address this issue.

Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

So, do i ignore the error? Because the below suggested fix doesn't work for me.

Still it's a bummer to know that are there's some issues with my install.

Neither is an issue nor an error. It's purely cosmetic.

The other one of a wider symbol map because of wayland which actively introduced values that are "illegal" on X11.

Oh I see.. Thank you for clarifying my doubts.
I'll mark this as solved then.
