+Wow.  I was assuming all along that the problem stemmed from a massive 
+upgrade from some MGA2 system.  If you installed a 3rd April beta, had 
+it working perfectly, and something uploaded to cauldron in the last 
+week borked your system, I have no clue.  And the fact that you've done 
+this repeatedly indicates that it's not just an unstable mirror or some 
+such.
+
+I wouldn't bother with the bug report for the /root/drakx stuff, since 
+the install itself worked fine and gave you a working system. It's 
+whatever came after that in the update that did the deed.
+
+If you have access to wired internet, is it possible for you to redo the 
+clean install as a network install from a cauldron mirror ?  It doesn't 
+have to be a full install, as a minimal system (Custom and uncheck all 
+the heavy stuff, just leave KDE as desktop) should give you an X 
+environment to test.  It would be interesting to know if a clean install 
+of current cauldron exhibits the same problems on your hardware.
