[kde-linux] kde problem after etch update

[Petrica Gasca]

Hello everybody,

After a large update of my etch distribution
(~120 MB) last night I cannot log into KDE anymore. When I type the
username and the password, the screen flickers a bit, then becomes
black, and then returns to the login screen without any message.
I tried to reconfigure Xorg (dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg) but the result is the same.
I created also a test user from the command line and tried back to log into KDE but I had the same result.
Any suggestion would be of great help, as working only from the command line is interesting but not very productive.
Thanks in advance.

Here is the output for dmesg (lines I suppose relevant):
