The X server died because I was trying to run a window manager I
didn't have, from the .xsession file. Oops.
The kde apps like kword and konqueror all run ok (even without
those modules named above, dri and glx) , but I can't
find the window manager (kwm) or the panel application (kicker).
Hmmm. That's a problem for another day. G'night! I can
dream in X now... :-)
