A dirty way to do this:

First, from command line (text) mode, change this file: /etc/inittab
change to
id:3:initdefault:

Restart or kill X

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.

I start my computer up, then the graphical log-in gves me the error, so 
I press ctrl-alt-f5 to go to the shell prompt. 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?
