Don't know about KDE, but the black background is now a default for
Xorg, so also for twm.

That looks to me like KDE trying to switch to a particular resolution
and failing. Check the resolution setting in the xorg.conf Screen
section. The easiest is just to set Virtual to the largest resolution
your monitor can handle:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
SubSection "Display"
Virtual 1920 1200
EndSubSection
EndSection
