Hello, Sujith! Let me make some suggestions.
First: you seem to be able to get into your system in some
way; perhaps you switch to another tty(with Ctrl-Alt-F2,
maybe.
What I have done for years is: disable any X-stuff running
before I log in. An easy way to do this is to go to
/etc/init.d/ and make the script xdm non-executable.
(chmod -x xdm, as root_
After you have done this, you will, I'm sure, find that
you can log in -- as root, or as your own user name, or
whatever -- when the screen is simply white type on black
background.
If this works, then you can get a .xinitrc in your home
directory -- maybe your home directory has this file already --
and edit it so that the command 'startx' will start KDE, or
GNOME, or some kind of esoteric mixture, such as I use.
This procedure separates the issues of logging in from
the issues of starting KDE. With the issues separated,
you will be able to resolve your KDE problems more
easily, I am sure.
If you need help with .xinitrc, let us know. I have a
nice one, but so do many others.
Very best wishes,
Alan
