OK. KDE is starting on boot but it won't let me to log in as root nor I 
can't su after I have logged in as normal user.
And another thing: I have configure X with "xorgcfg -textmode" and I have 
specified my card, monitor, resolution. Hence, after the log into my 
account I have 640*480 only resolution. I have tried to change in 
preferences>peripheral>display but I have only one choose 640*480.
What am I missing here?
