Black screen after login

I have installed kernel26-lts. Looks good and X server with kdm is runniíng. When I log in KDE I can see only mouse cursor and black screen.
If you needed any logs tell me, please.

Re: Black screen after login

Same problem here. It only happened on my desktop though, not on my laptop.

It's also most certainly not a kde configuration error, as the same happens for a freshly created test user. Anyone got any idea?

No! Somebody else :-)
I tried to turn off all effects and it is ok. So it seems to be a driver issue.
I have intel GM965.

Bad argument!!
why you don't just try other things like awesome, openbox, or at least gnome...:/
however kdemod works better than kde  ....sometimes

Yes, I am not new to linux. On the current kernel glxgears are about 60 FPS. On the LTS I have 2000 FPS :-)
But it is not showing anything but black background.
