Hi John. That error can mean a number of things:
X is not running because it lacked a valid mode line (most common)
X is not running because it died for some other reason
X is refusing connections (less common)
Try starting "X" on its own and see what happens.
If you get a grey screen and a mouse pointer than it worked ok -
control-alt-backspace to kill the X server you started.
If X fails to start it will leave an error message (which will turn up in
.xsession-errors too).
If you need to use X in a hurry and kdm is broken, startx will get you out
of trouble. If this works but kdm doesn't then the problem relates to
kdm.
