Probably, there's something in /root that's not in your home
directory. .kde? Something like that.

If that's not the case, then your GiveConsole script is broken.
Since I abhor kde and its ilk, I can't be too much help there. xdm
(which I'd recommend your trying to get working first before using
kdm) keeps this stuff in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/. Perhaps kdm keeps
it somewhere nearby?

The weird sync'ing makes it sound like whatever file has the
appropriate X settings for your video card is not read properly by
kdm (probably because kdm wants a copy of it some place you haven't
put it).
