I'd imagine that Lawrence also ended up doing a clean install and
formatting the partition that SuSE was previously on.
It's rather odd that the instructions didn't work for you. Have you
tried rebooting since the change? or typing "telinit 5"? You'll need
to do one of the two to cause the change to take effect.
If neither of those solutions fix it, here's what you need to change in
/etc/inittab. Find the line that reads:
id:3:initdefault:
and change it to read:
id:5:initdefault:
Then find the line that reads:
x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/X11/xdm -nodaemon
and change it to read:
x:5:respawn:/opt/kde/bin/kdm -nodaemon
Then do the reboot or telinit command mentioned above.
