First, from command line (text) mode, change this file: /etc/inittab
change to
id:3:initdefault:
So you won't start in graphic mode (change to id:5:initdefault: to restore it).
Then, type
xinit
So, you are going to have X started
Then, type startkde for KDE
Iif you want start gnome, xinit, then switchdesk, then choose GNOME, then startx... I don't remember how to do this without this.

When I type startx I get an error that X is already running. So if X is already running, how do I start gnome or KDE?
