RE: KDE - "initializing peripherals..."
Actually, when I brought back X4, I found it was a problem with the
xserver-xfree86 configuration. When I specified the correct, neomagic
chipset, KDE started working just fine.
Thanks to all for your help. I think I'm good to go.

Don't downgrade to X3 - thats a fatal thing to do
X is working - its KDE thats broken. Downgrading X will cause you more
problems. Since you know that WindowMaker works, you can be assured
that debugging KDE will buy you some progress.
I use sawfish and still use KOffice - so you might want to try using a
different window manager.
