KDE freezes on initializing peripherals
Hey all, I've installed KDE on my debian box (via apt-get) and when I fire it up it seems to work fine until I it gets to initializing perihperals at which point it freezes - and takes console with it. Nothing can be done at console. ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't kill X, virtual consoles can't be used. I CAN ssh in, but killing X doesn't bring back console - the KDE start up screen stays until a reboot is done. Interestingly enough prior to getting to initializing perihperals I can use my mouse just fine. If I set KDE to startup at boot I can use my mouse and type in my password just fine (implying both mouse and keyboard are configured correctly in XF86Config) - but after logging in, when it gets to initializing perihperals it again freezes. Another note: I can launch X and twm and it works fine - it's just KDE that has a problem. The logs aren't very helpful here: $ tail -25 XFree86.0.log (WW) VESA(0): Option UseFBDev is not used (II) Setting vga for screen 0.

I actually just figured it out - I switched from using xserver-xfree86 to xserver-svga and it works now. My only problem now is that I get interference sort of. When I scroll in a konsole or other app there's lots of white lines that appear, usually next to or above that application. This also happens when an app opens or closes. Any ideas?
