Now that one is solved it is time to find out why KDE does not work. X windows gives a fatal server error 4. What does that indicate?
When does this error occur? Is it before login, i.e. is it when you are expecting a graphical login screen like kdm or gdm to appear, or is it after you have logged in?
X writes a log file which may help diagnose this - where this gets written may depend on which login manager you are using. For gdm2 I have the log file /var/log/XFree86.0.log. I have also seen a log called gdm:0.log or some such similar thing.

Strangely XFree86.0.log and kdm.log do not show the error. k login manager comes up OK and I can login as any user for a gnome session. If I login for a kde session it gets to the intialsing peripheralspart, briefly flashes a console with the fatal server error 4 then restarts klogin.
