I think this is the actual problem (I couldn't start any session from kde, and so I tried to run startx manually and got this...)Since it work as root, it's almost certainly a permissions error that has crept in somehow. Let's see...$ ls -al /var/log total 1984 drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 May 4 07:37 . drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 Jan 17 20:58 .. - -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22395 May 3 14:07 Xorg.0.log - -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23927 May 3 10:34 Xorg.0.log.old Check yours.
actually the same... but that doesn't mean much since it actually says that only root can write....
