After logout system freezes

Well, you could just wait till the latest XFree86 appears on http://packages.debian.org.

and the only way of updating XFree86 would be with the next Knoppix install what would also destroy all data on ext3 and modifications I have made for KDE now?

You can back up your /home and restore after another install or use the home partition how to and create a home partition. Also if you back up the files in the /etc directory you can restore the configuration changes you made.
