The easiest solution would be un-installing xdm then let your system
start kdm. The default only allows 1 dm to start. In your basic
question, you can look into the directory "/etc/X11". It has most of
the X configuration there. For KDE, you look into "/etc/kde${X}"
where ${X} can be 2 or 3 depending on your installation.
I started running kdm over vnc recently. It worked out very well so
that I don't need any Xserver in Windows. VNCviewer is a tiny program
which still fits into a floppy.
