Ok, this is weird.
having given up on building XFree84-4x, i reinstalled XFree86-3.whatever from
the 1.2 CD.
Now Gnome is working again (yay!). So at least X is more or less healthy.
However, KDE2, installed from the RPM's at http://www.msoe.edu/~geiseri/kde2/,
started, said it was starting up, displayed the little help wizard screen, then
returned me to a blank screen with no control - no ctrl-atl-delete, even.
(though I do have cursor).
I telnetted in from another machine and did ps -ax; a process called ksmserver
was running (on tty1) so I killed that, and my console came back.
Anyone have any clues what's going on here? I get the sense I'm that close to
getting this to work...
