Yes, I'm sure about the right kernel-headers.
I did Update in m-a.

Now when I run startx to try it out I get messages:
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
xinit: connection to X server lost
waiting for X server to shut down Server terminated successfully

What can be here the problem?
