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.
