Okay, another option is to start Konsole from the text terminal, and then switch to the display.

1.  Type Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to the text terminal and log in
2.  Run 'DISPLAY=:0 konsole'

This should avoid the "Cannot connect to X server" message.  The Konsole window will appear on the main display (Ctrl+Alt+F7 to switch to it)

3.  Let me know what output you get.  You can cat it to a file like so:

DISPLAY=:0 konsole 2> log_file
