window managers fail to load on Suse 9.2


This is a problem I keep facing with Suse...

I installed Suse 9.2 onto a laptop, and the default install only put in a simple window manager (fvwm), so I used yast to install kde and several other kde-related packages. I rebooted, xdm loaded, and now neither fvwm nor kde will start. I have gone into runlevel 3 and tried to start each of those without xdm, but X will start running, show the x cursor, but nothing happens beyond that. The Xorg.0.log shows no relevant errors.

I'm not sure how I should begin diagnosing the problem. I'm not too familiar with the suse file-tree, so I don't know where to look for package names so I can possibly remove packages.

Are there any other logs (such as a kde fail log) that I could use?

Thanks in advance!
