No, I got that :)

This was based on the last few lines, where it gets "Connection refused" on=
=20
127.0.0.1 a couple of times.

Hmm, can you echo $DISPLAY in startkde right before ksmserver's line?

Another thing you could try is to start just xterm and then run startkde=20
inside it, i.e.

startx /usr/bin/xterm

Should start the X server and just xterm as the only window. You'll need to=

move the mouse cursor over the window to allow keyboard input.
