You need to setup your .Xdefaults and .xinitrc in your home directory. Here
is a sample that should get you started. You can also modify the system
xinitrc file if you so choose to start kde by default.
.xinitrc
=====================================================
xrdb -load .Xdefaults
xmodmap -e 'keysym Alt_L = Meta_L Meta_L'
# The following line is key to getting kde to show up...
startkde
=====================================================
.Xdefaults
=====================================================
XTerm*ttyModes: erase ^?
XTerm*termName: xterm-color
=====================================================
As always, your mileage may vary

> Hi,

> I recently installed a fresh 4.3 without X. I did this so I could get a
> clean install of XFree86 4.0.x and KDE 2.1. After doing a make install for
> XFree86 and then for KDE2 I had hoped to be up and running after
> configuring X for my display. What I was hoping was that on one of my
> virtual terminals I'd have a nifty login screen that would then launch into
> KDE.
>
> Unfortunately, I don't know what to do next. Running xdm isn't what I
> want, nor kdm. Startx doesn't seem to be doing much.
>
> Can anyone tell me what steps one should take after the make install on
> XFree86 and KDE2? I've tried poking around for docs on the system as well
> as on the respective websites and am still stumped.
