It may be the run level.
In the /etc/inittab file.
look for this line "id:3:initdefault:"
set the value is not '5' after id, set it to 3 (X11 mode)
Am I going out on a limb in assuming you are trying to get the KDE to show?

What I meant was:
The value for the runlevel may have defaulted to 3 (like in my example)Full Multiuser mode. Change the 3 to a 5 (X11 mode).

I'm not sure where it is set, either in /etc/profile or by the getty program. By default it is 'linux'. If you want to override this behavior, place
export TERM=term_type
in your .bashrc. Check out the Text-Terminal HOWTO or the Console-Keyboard HOWTO for more info
