I have exactly the same problem and no idea what's wrong. Xorg is running
fine. Also KDE is running fine after kdm got started twice.
Here are some confirmation lines:
Sep 13 23:25:51 cale kdm[532]: X server startup timeout, terminating
Sep 13 23:26:16 cale kdm[532]: X server for display :0 can't be started,
session disabled
The only error in Xorg.o.log is:
Could not init font path element /usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/, removing
from list!
I don't know why this path is incorrect, (the ghostscript fonts are readable
in this directory!) but that can't be the reason, can it?
Thanks,
