If your graphics drivers don't work, KDE is not going to help.

In stead it installed the desktop light facility apparently successfully..
I used synaptic to install the kde enviroment but I cannot find how to 
start it up.
Can someone advise on this please ?

How far are you getting? If you're in failsafe [an xterm with nothing else] then 'startkde' will do the trick. The usual way to start a DE is to choose it from the display manager, and installing KDE may have pulled in KDM. The display manager is what gives you the login prompt.
