I've kept trying, and with the most recent updates (versions below) logging in is possible (but only with the external monitor connected via HDMI, which is wired to the nvidia card), however KDE seems to forget my prevorious display setup (i think this is why i can log in), but as soon as I try to realign the displays, the could not start ksmserver msg pops up.
