It sounds like a problem with KDE rather than with X itself. To test it, 
create the file .xinitrc in your home directory (note the period) with 
the single line "icewm" (or whatever window manager you want to test 
with, twm, wmaker, ion, etc) and then try "startx". If that works, you 
know the problem is in KDE.
