Hi KK, thanks. I have tried ctrl+ald+bspace but got a black screen for a split sec abd got right back to KDM login. Also tried ctrl+f1, ctrl+f1 etc but go nowhere. I can get in single user mode but no edit previleges as I am not root. still trying different things. hanks tho.

It's helpful to place a newline every 72 characters or so. In short, I've not got an answer for KDM, but you should be able to drop to the console with CTL-ALT-BKSP --- and, if that doesn't work, you should be able to access a virtual console with CTL-F1, CTL-F2, etc. Edit the offending file (rc.conf?, /etc/ttys?) and try "kill -HUP `pgrep Xorg`". And, if you can't get a virtual console, you'll want to reboot into single-user mode, I guess.
