Just to get going, log in and start kde with

	/etc/init.d/kdm start

If you don't get a graphical login screen, your config for xfree86
is probably not ok. Check your /var/log/XFree86.0.log with

	more /var/log/XFree86.0.log

You can find your graphics card with

	lspci

and reconfigure with

	dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

Sincerely,

Jan.
