RE: KDE - "initializing peripherals..."
WindowMaker does work, but I need KDE so that I can run KOffice. NeoMagic,
eh? Shoot; would have found that right away if I'd just used Google in the
first place.
Alright, well; it's proving very difficult to downgrade, so I'll try
upgrading to v4 again and post a log if I run into trouble again this time.
Thanks for your help.

xserver-xfree86 is the xserver for xfree v4. Before that there were
xserver-<vidcard> packages.
According to a web search, you have a NeoMagic 128ZV+ vid card. Looking
through a quick google search I could see no sign of other people having
problems.
Perhaps you should try loading into X without KDE (just use a window
manager).
If X works then you can narrow down the search. If you still have problems
the
problems lie in X, not KDE.
