after succesful login ...type "startx" without the quotes.

-yeah, he's right, your X needs to be running before you can get into the KDE gui. I just tested it from CL and got a similar error. If typing
startx gets the GUI started for you that means your Xserver is configured properly. To have it start automatically you need to change the default run level to 5 in the /etc/inittab file
-example from SuSE-
Code:
# The default runlevel is defined here
id:5:initdefault:
# First script to be executed, if not booting in emergency (-b) mode
si::bootwait:/etc/init.d/boot
# /etc/init.d/rc takes care of runlevel handling
#
# runlevel 0 is System halt (Do not use this for initdefault!)
# runlevel 1 is Single user mode
# runlevel 2 is Local multiuser without remote network (e.g. NFS)
# runlevel 3 is Full multiuser with network
# runlevel 4 is Not used
# runlevel 5 is Full multiuser with network and xdm
# runlevel 6 is System reboot (Do not use this for initdefault!)

When you installed Mandrake Linux you were probably given an opportunity to fine tune and test your display settings (e.g. "X") -and upon completion of this step I think I remember the option to start X automatically... perhaps you missed that?
