How about showing us the error from /var/log/Xorg.0.log when it fails to 
start KDM? ;)

Look for log lines that begin with (EE) or (WW) - the following might be of 
assistance:

egrep -C 2 '^\([EW]{2}\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log

increasing the "-C" value above 2 may help by giving the error messages more 
context.  "man egrep" for the details :)

For the curious - egrep is Enhanced GREP and handles logic and regex in far 
more powerful ways.  The regex, above, matches "(EE)" or "(WW)" as long as 
they start on a new line "^".  The parenthesis are escaped as they have 
special meaning in regex. The whole regex is between single quotes to 
prevent the shell trying to interpret it or expand it as a file name glob 
etc.

Cheers,

James
