I fed this error message from your log into google:

Keyboard initialization failed. This could be a missing or incorrect setup of xkeyboard-config

And found this solution:

https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/xkeyboard-config-missing-or-incorrect-setup.34879/

Sorry for posting so many responses to my own thread. I apologize. I have fixed the problem, I reinstall xkbcomp and I also just deleted server-0.xkm. After reinstalling xkbcomp, I 
sudo cd /tmp/server-0.xkm and I found 3 directory's from my original usr/home/mrfree directory. After deleting them all I then deleted server-0.xkm and now everything is back in 
working order. Terribly sorry for the thread guys, hopefully it will help someone out one day
