So the tde failure on xorg 1.12 seems to be limited to the initialization process when the splash screen is running (ksplash maybe?). What I need is to identify what is running when the crash occurs to help narrow it down. I'm not familiar with the 'startup sequence' so it would help if somebody who know could chime in.
Maybe you already tried this, but normally when I had problems with starting KDE/TDE, I would just choose a fail-safe session from KDM. Then you normally only get an xterm or a konsole. From there I would then run the startkde/starttde script so all the output would appear in the terminal as it started up.
An alternative would be to just run an empty X server and use another terminal (local or maybe ssh) with export DISPLAY=:1 (if you ran X :1) and run the start script from there.
Normally the problem would be visible as a segfault or something like that being printed in the terminal.
