If you can run gnome; the problems does not come from xfree86 but from kde (a
good idea to test to x server is to type X in console which start only X).
I suggest you to remove all file which begin with .kde
rm -rf .kde* in your home directory. This will delete all configuration files
from kde. You can also try to start kde from root to see if it is not a
permission problems. By the way, I have had sometimes to problems that kde
freeze. Usually, there were not problems after rebooting the system.
