    Try xinit instead...

    If it loads, then run startkde or kde.

    Best Wishes!

    Can you post this section from your /etc/X11/XF86Config file:
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "device1"
    VendorName "nVidia Corp."
    BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce2 DDR (generic)"
    Driver "nv"
    Option "DPMS"
    Option "IgnoreEDID" "1"
    EndSection

    When I setup MDK 10.1 it doesn't configure this file correctly. I have to change to "Driver "nv"" instead of the pre configured "Driver "nvidia""

    Also to get my nvidia card to initialize right I have to add the line
    Option "Device" "/dev/nvidia0" then I exit out re-login and type "kde" all by itself and it works.
