Messed up my graphical login HELP!

[Christian Loza]

A dirty way to do this:

First, from command line (text) mode, change  this file:  /etc/inittab
change to 
id:3:initdefault:

So you won't start in graphic mode (change to id:5:initdefault: to
restore it).

Then, type
xinit
So, you are going to have X started

Then, type startkde for KDE
Iif you want start gnome, xinit, then switchdesk, then choose GNOME,
then startx... I don't remember how to do this without this.
