Also, totally out of the blue, some elements in KDE4 appear differently than with 9.1. For example, the desktop buttons on the task bar are laid out horizontally instead of vertically. I was not able to check for other weird stuff because you can't do anything on the desktop; it's like looking at a screenshot of a desktop or trying to use true-color, uncompressed VNC over a 8kbbs phone modem connection.
There was nothing helpful in Xorg.0.log nor dmesg. Xorg.0.log also gets spammed to death with modeline messages.
I'm on Gentoo AMD64*, kernel 2.6.28.5 and X.Org 1.5.3. Radeon HD4870 512MB.
*And because of this you never know if it's a packaging bug or not. I don't think the installer works on Gentoo; we rely on the Gentoo fglrx maintainer to package it.
