[SOLVED] Hyprland issues with keycodes

I ran hyprland

The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Warning:          Multiple symbols for level 1/group 1 on key <FK23>
>                   Using F23, ignoring XF86TouchpadOff
> Warning:          Symbol map for key <FK23> redefined
>                   Using last definition for conflicting fields
> Warning:          Symbol map for key <FK24> redefined
>                   Using last definition for conflicting fields
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Warning:          Unsupported maximum keycode 709, clipping.
>                   X11 cannot support keycodes above 255.
> Warning:          Virtual modifier Hyper multiply defined
>                   Using 0, ignoring 0
> Warning:          Virtual modifier ScrollLock multiply defined
>                   Using 0, ignoring 0
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server

It then outputs a black screen.
When running start-hyprland it outputs a black screen also.

That output is insignificant.

"black screen" or "black screen but there's a mouse cursor"?

Though

Black screen with cursor

just means you hadn't configured hyprland to run any clients.
