Try the following:
1. In your home directory create a file called ".xinitrc"
2. In ".xinitrc" place the following line:

exec startkde

3. Save and close the file and then go to the command line and 
   type "startx"

Note: It is not a good idea to be running as "root". Create an account
for yourself and log in using that account. Switch user to root whenever
you need to using "su" (see: man su)
