my linux doesn't start with kdm

I have archlinux
I was updating KDE and then I broke my X
I changed in /etc/inittab to id:3:default for solving problems.Now X works properly!

But then I wanted to change it again to id:5:default
but my linux starts with console and i should write startx manually

in the ~/.initrc and /etc/ske/.initrc
exec startkde

Here is the relevant parts in my /etc/inittab file :

Code:

...
## Only one of the following two lines can be uncommented!
# Boot to console
#id:3:initdefault:
# Boot to X11
id:5:initdefault:
...
x:5:respawn:/opt/kde/bin/kdm

You need the line in bold also to start kdm.
