Wrecked kernel

After replacing files from my partial backup X11 is acting strangely.

Cannot open log file "/root/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log"

The log file is alive and well where it has always been in
/var/log/Xorg.0.log

There is mention of this on the internet, mostly on ArchLinux, nothing
useful however.

Another problem, if I compile kernel 5.8 can I get updates?

Or is it so that I need to buildworld...because that was looking bad...but
if I could get updates maybe it would help.

Thank you anyone at all for any help
