Hi Shawn,
Can you startx from runlevel 3?
If so, try executing a KDE2.2 program, like kmail, see what kind of error you
get. When I had a similar problem, I was getting a 'couldn't load shared
library' error related to QT. Also check your X error log (I forget the actual
log name, but it's in /var/logs) for clues.
Apparently the problem was that I compiled qt2.3.1 with qt2.2.4 libs still
around, hosing things up. Recompiling qt2.3.1 with qt2.2.4 moved out of the way
worked (mv /usr/lib/qt2 /usr/lib/qt2.2.4) for me.
HTH,
Tim
