startx + startkde does not start KDE

I have kdm in non-daemon mode. If I boot on runlevel 5, end up with kdm and login into KDE, everything is OK.

Nevertheless, when I Ctrl+Atl+Backspace to terminate the X server, then I run startx to go to the X Window system and run startkde, the KDE splash screen freezes on the hard drive icon (i.e., the first step). The same if I run exec startkde.

Is there any way, from the text mode, to start the X server and start kde (directly or starting kdm as an intermediate step)?

Thank you very much in advance.

Re: startx + startkde does not start KDE

To start it directly after you logged in as your user in a text konsole you adjust your .xinitrc (uncomment the 'exec startkde' line) in your users home directory and start it via 'startx'.
To start kdm manually you would have to log in as root and type '/etc/rc.d/kdm start'. But the first method should be the most suited for you.
