Daniel:
Were you attempting an x loggin as root? That might not be a good idea, and
it also might not work depending on your security setup.
Were you attempting to log in as user? Then take a look at the file in this
user home file called .xsession-errors for any details related to the kde
failure.
Off the top of my head, it might be a missing lib or component for kde. The
errors should help you track it down.
In my case, I start with blackbox and IceWM first. Once these two super
light weight GUI's are installed, I then install kde. If kde breaks, I
always have a solid desktop GUI to fall back on. It is also helpful when I
am doing a lot of *stuff* to use blackbox to free up extra hardware resources.
Congrats on the xfree setup. You're half way there! :)
