KDE 2.1.1 + XFree86 4.0.3 + Matrox G450

["Frankie Fong" <volks38@hotmail.com>]

Hello everyone,

I have a situation where I wonder if anybody experienced:

I have a Debian 2.2r2 distribution installed.
I have XFree86 4.0.3 installed from source (built together with
the latest Matrox G450 driver)

X works fine with twm as window manager.

then I installed the KDE2.2.1 binary deb packages:
    KDElibs3
    KDEbase

successfully after I resolved the dependencies which
include the following packages:
    XFree86 3.3.6, qt 2.3.0,
    libssl096 -> libc6 2.2.2.4 -> libdb2.7.7-7

they all installed successfully.

in order to rebuild my XFree86 4.0.3 after the libc6 update,
i installed libc6-dev 2.2.2.4.

X worked fine after the upgrade (with twm).

then I modified my .xinitrc script to run 'startkde'
instead of the 'twm' stuff.

startx

after some blinking and flashing of the screen, x dies.

strangely enough, when i compared the /var/log/XFree86.0.log
of my successful twm start and my failed kde start, they
are both the same.

I am hoping for someone who could point me to somewhere else
inside the system where i could find some KDE/X error messages.

thanks in advance.
frankie
