Try typing 'gdm' from a root console.
That should startx and put you into the Gnome graphical login (from which you can launch KDE or Gnome) Another 'off the wall suggestion' Have you tried CTl+Alt+F2,, CTl+Alt+F3 etc through to F11 ? Its just possible your graphical log in has been started up in a different display.
