The best info you can get is gathered from /var/log/Xorg.0.log after you try
starting x, and from terminal output. Use startx from runlevel 3 to gather this:
startx &> startx-output.txt
Get the logs, and post them as well. You can also get the output of KDM when
trying to start it manually from the terminal (it may be that X works fine, KDM
doesn't).
