1. Does it just sit there, and you kill it with <ctl><alt>-<bkspc>, or does
it finally crash?
2. What window manager - kde, gnome, twm, mwm...?

Some misconfiguration. Have you checked /var/log/XFree86.0.log?
Also, you might edit ~/.Xclients-default, and where it does the start
whatever, you might put
startkde 2> ~/.xerrors
so that any errors (standard file descriptor 2 is stderr) go into that file,
and you can see what it said.
Now, I've got my own problems - I just went through the aggro of upgrading
from 7.3 (updated) to 9.0 - there's *no* good way, if you can't offload
*everything*, and reformat - and now icewm, which makes my K-6 250MHZ run
like one, instead of like an 8088, not only crashes with a core and a SEGV,
but leaves *zero* error messages.
Grrrrr....
