Seems not to be kde related. I'm running gnome here and removed every
kde package from the system - still not working. X comes up for a
split second and goes away. It stops exactly where Jeff said:

Well, similar message for my trackball. The trackman is working as I
can move it for exactly the above mentioned split second. I also
tested if it is something with the nvdriver (nvidia binary), but the
problem still exists after I changed to the opensource nv.

Any more ideas?
