[DWM] devicexinit error

Hi, I'm have been using dwm from a long time, and two days ago I got this error after starting the graphical environment with startx. X starts and dwm seems to run normally, but I cannot invoce dmenu or lauch a terminal, only quit. This is what th screen shows after I quit dwm:

Closing log file.tXOpenIM failed: could not open input devicexinit: connection to X server lost

also, if I try to run dwm as root It gives me this error:

Closing log file.sym XF6KbdLcdmenu5Errors from Xkbcomp are not fatal to the X serverwarning

I tried to fix it recompiling a fresh dmenu and dwm, but the problem persist. Any ideas?

Could you please share your Xorg.log and your xinitrc, so that at least no one gets hurt in these low light conditions.
