if you have already installed X and your favorite desktop then you
would have to issue the 'startx' command.  If you have installed X and
your desktop then your /home/.xinitrc would have which desktop you
installed.  for me I switch between kde and gnome.  In mine I have the
command 'exec gnome-session'.  If I want to boot up into kde i put in
'exec startkde'.  The easiest way to install X and your desktop is to
issue the command at the console is '/stand/sysinstall' . then go down
to 'configure', scroll all the way down and there are to entries one
for X server and one for desktop.  Take it from there!

Hope this helps.
