Someday you will have to regale us with a story as to what happened to that monitor.

How are you starting Xorg ?
What are you trying to use as a Windows Manager ?
What is your video subsystem?
Do you have a custom xorg.conf file? If so, why?

I'm gonna say "soap"… also TWM.

Please post the xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General
You can use the tip in the first link below to upload it from the console.

Im starting X with .xinitrc and started using Xorg to use suckless dwm, didn't understand what you mean with video subsystem.

Recently i ran setxkbmap on sudo and created an unecessary broken systemd service, dont know if have something to do with this. The system was fine even after that.

This monitor was bought from a collegue that used it for 7+ years. Just too old, i guess.

using Xorg to use suckless dwm

Your OP says "twm"? (Those are indeed different WMs)
Please post the xorg log and also your xinitrc.

Nothing after the first "exec" line is executed (and that does setxkbmap br) - also you're missing the include that imports the session environment. See the last link below.
The first link tell you to feed it into curling ix.io…

cat ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io

Server starts successfully and terminates immediately - the only problem is your xinitrc.
Remove the bogus "exec" and add the required includes instead.
