[SOLVED] Xorg: Failed to activate core devices?

Question

Hey guys.
I must've done something terribly wrong, because my Arch Linux won't boot up anymore.
Here's the deal: When my computer is booted up, I type in "startxfce4", and it gives me a few errors such as:
XKB: Couldn't compile keymap
and most important
Fatal server error:
Failed to activate core devices.
So I googled around a little bit, and found something regarding the core devices, and it stated that it was caused by a full disc.
So I did df -h, and yes, I've got a 100% /dev/disk/by-uuid/alot-numbers-and-letters, but I do not recall having made such a partition.
Output from df -h:
udev 10m 192k 9.9m % /dev
/dev/disk/by-uuid/en-hel-masse-tal-og-bogstaver 7.3G 7.0G 0 100% /
shm 1.7g 0 100% /
/dev/sda1 99m 15m 80m 15% /boot
/dev/sda4 451G 44G 385G 11% /home
As you can see, there's a lot space left on /dev/sda4
So...
What has caused this, and why?
Regards,
Marcus.

Answer 1

Solved this with some help from another Linux community.
The reason was that I had a folder called scratchbox within / which was using ~2gb of space, so I deleted it, and the partition is only 70% full now.
