I just found on the kde site that you are not supposed to start kde with the command "startkde". You are supposed to start it with "startx" and edit ~/.xinitrc to say "startkde". This did seem to do something and the screen blanked and tried to start, but then came back to terminal with some X errors. It was a screenfull and I didn't write them down. Is there a way to copy text in the console? So I'm thinking that it's a problem with X. I will go back and try icewm and see what happens. If it is a problem with X, how the heck do I diagnose it?
