Failed to activate core devices

I've been running Xwin Server for a long time and today it started
failing with the cannot compile keymap error. To start, I made sure I
had the latest version of all the packages. After updating everything it
didn't help. I ran the various commands suggested by the topics I found
on this error. They all returned the output expected. I then ran though
the list of incompatible software and noticed that I have several
however, as I said, this was all working until today. I've attached the
log file FWIW but I don't know where to go from here to troubleshoot
this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
