[Bug 274730] Re: [ Intrepid ] kde 4 don't start

[NoOp]

Exactly the same issue w/intrepid kernels: black screen w/kde4 mouse
cursor.

Machine is an A21M Thinkpad w/384MiB RAM and Savage video:
*-display UNCLAIMED

Thinking that it might be related to the latest kernel update (in my
case 2.6.27-10-generic as I have the proposed repository enabled) I tried
booting to the older 2.6.27-8 kernel: no change.

So, given that this is a vanilla test machine and the fact that I
originally had installed KDE4 via a ppa, so I went through the following:

1. Renamed .kde and .kd4 - no change.
2. Removed/purged KDE/kubuntu using
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
Rebooted & checked the system afterwards in Gnome, all well.
Note: I previously had kde4 installed via the ppa, hence the reason to
purge all. Reinstalled kbuntu-desktop (sudo apt-get install
kubuntu-desktop) - no change - BSOD.
3. Booted into recovery mode and tried option 4 xfix - no change - BSOD.
4. Booted into 2.6.25-2-386 - no change - BSOD.
5. Booted into 2.6.24-21-386 (hardy kernel) - works!

As noted, the machine works without issue in Gnome, and is an upgrade
from Hardy (hence the 2.6.24 kernel presence.
