I made the mistake of unnecessarily logging out of KDE. Now the system
will not run kdm and start KDE. The system stops at the end of running
rc.local where my message says 'startx completed successfully'. The
only way to get KDE running is to open a console at F1 and run startx.

what happens if you try to start kdm (as root or sudo) from konsole ?
In particular, try running 'sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart'. Does it give any
errors? You may also want to look at the end of /var/log/Xorg.0.log for
errors.
