hmm, from the command line I would use "installpkg" and re-install the kdebase and kdelibs packages to see if the problem fixes itself.....

hi 320mb...
the mandatory reinstalls...reformats etc hav been performed...i'm still getting this error...this problem is specific to kde since X begins normally...and so does any other WM like xfce4...
