Edit your /etc/inittab file. Change:

id:3:initdefault:

to

id:5:initdefault:

Alternatively, you can simply log in at the 'black screen' and type:

startx

to bring up KDE.

Are you sure it's not running on VT7? Press ctrl-alt-f7 from the text login screen to check.... (you can press ctrl-alt-f1 to get back again)
