No, probably not. KDE should run fine without devfs.

The GeForce 4 chips aren't supported by the XF4.2 "nv" drivers AFAIK. Still
not the problem. You're running "vesa", and the login screen works.
Consequently, your graphics driver works. ;)

"client killed" could be an authentication problem. I don't use KDE, so
this is just guesswork. When the login sceen appears, press Alt-F1, and
login as root. Then, type
DISPLAY=:0 xhost +
Go back to X via Alt-F7, and then try to login. If that works, we're
having authentication troubles.
