No. I have the same kernel and with xfree 4.2.1 it runs just fine. Today I upgraded xfree to 4.3.0-r1 and I got the same errors as you have It is not only KDE. Gnome will also not start, the gnome session manager crashes, just like ksmserver I have an athlon-xp cpu I also tried to add a new user, in case some settings are not ok, but kde would not start. I tried it as root, in case of some access settings did not match, but that did not help. So I am desperate. Downgrading xfree to 4.2.1 will perhaps start kde again, but then a lot of other programs will not work anymore. Perhaps I will install everything from scratch again :-/ --Kees -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
