Starting kdm from a root login brings up the login manager window where he ca login as user.. Then make the changes to allow his syste to start as init 5 (Xwindows), log out and reboot into Xwindows, kdm login manager.
Yeah, I realise. I was only suggesting an alternative in case for some reason launching kdm didn't work - for example, if it for some reason had not been installed. He mentioned that he was able to launch KDE manually, so a startx based approach was likely to work.
