I thought it might have been cause of my computer freezing up during the the update which might have been part of it. Anyway once I got a driver back I had the same issue. I could login to kde as root but not user. I tracked it down to the .kde/share/config directory but not sure which file in it. What I did was delete my user account after backing it up then recreated it which let me into kde again. I then logged back in to a terminal and renamed the newer .kde dir brought the old one back in and rsynced the new .kde/share/config directory back into it and got most of my kde settings back.
