I was having a similar issue with my fresh install of KSP 1.1.2 on my Opensuse 13.2 Box.
I was getting the following in the ~/.config/unity3d/Squad/Kerbal\ Space\ Program/Player.log:
Thanks to @v8Dave and his suggestion I looked in the prefs file in the same directory and found it was trying to make my display 1920x24...... Not good...
So I edited the "Screenmanager Resolution Height" to something more reasonable. E.G: "1200".
So you might check the prefs file to make sure the screen resolution matches that of one of your displays.
Hope that helps, sorry for the long post, just wanted to to make sure all the info was there.
