If you can log in from the command line this is a good start.
Will X and KDE start okay if you log in at the command line then start X

Can root login via KDM?
Have you tried purging KDM then reinstalling it - that may flush any odd kdm
settings?
You know that kdm can be configured to only allow certain users to login, and
I'm wondering if this has got messed up.
