After a little more testing, I found that GDM doesn't cause a crash on mode-switch, so if you have Gnome installed, you can still have a graphical login. Maybe this bug is an interaction between the Voodoo3 driver and KDM? A related bug - I changed /etc/sysconfig/desktop from "KDE" to "Gnome", and my login manager did not change. No luck setting it to "GNOME" either, so I added the line "preferred=gdm" at line 38 of /etc/X11/prefdm. Hard-coding the login manager is hardly the optimum solution, but it works for me.
