Hi There is a list of things you can do when KDE wont start, remove the files in your home directory that start with .DCOP , delete the contents of your /tmp directory and rename your .kde directory. Doing this causes KDE to set them up again. You could also try as root XFree86 --configure this will give you a new copy of your XF86Config file in your /root directory called XF86Config.new and you just rename it and copy it to your /etc/X11 directory.
