display :0 cannot be opened

I just installed .7 on my new system.  Everything went very well except when I try to get into kde by running startx.  I edited .xinitrc to uncomment exec kde.  When I type startx, I get a blank screen and my keyboard stops functioning.  So I have no other choice then to shut down and reboot.  When I look at the logs, I see the error

display :0 cannot be opened

Any ideas how to correct this?  I did not have another kde session running on display 0 at the time because I had just booted into runlevel 3.

Re: display :0 cannot be opened

Problem fixed.  Since this was a fresh install and I was only about a half hour into the install when I tried to run KDE, I decided to re-install in case something got hosed during the install or configuration of xorg (I rerun xorgconfig just in case before reinstalling).  Since the re-install, it works fine.
