slackware-current KDE5 startx failed

Hi!

Slackware64-current form 10.10.2019. Clean install, KDE4 works.
I downloaded Ktown Erics KDE-5.19.10 packages to replace KDE4.

README:

1. slackpkg remove kde
2. upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86_64/deps/*.t?z
3. upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86_64/kde/*/*.t?z
4. find /etc/ -name "*.new" - there is none.
5. reboot

All above finished without errors & warnings.

After a reboot startx after a brief display blink, returns to text mode.

This is full output of startx:
