This sounds like a video problem....or a resource conflict
with the sound card. Which video server are you using?
According to www.xfree86.org/cardlist.html, you should be
using the xf86_s3 x-windows server.

You may need to get the drivers for this from
http://devloper.soundblaster.com.
I'm not sure what else to tell you. What happens if you
take the sound card OUT of the system? Does it boot up to
KDE OK then?
