Sorry, I didn't fully understand what you wanted....
My default runlevel is 3, but I found that you need to be root to use kdm from the tty console......this will call up KDE's login interface where you can log in as a user or root.......
What I did while in kde is started up the Control Panel and went to
System Administration -> Login Manager, clicked on the last tab (
Convenience) and made sure 'Automatic Login' was deselected and 'Preselect User' was set to 'Specify' and selected my username with the 'Focus password' option enabled. This means when I login, the username will already be entered and all I need to do is supply the password.
I like the kdm login interface, cause I can also use it to login to different window managers with it as well..........not to mention that I'm a kde freak
HTH

PS: Since I mostly use the KDE GUI and call up shell terminals (Konsole in KDE) when using the command line, I've automated the process by starting kdm automatically.......I'm still in runlevel 3, but have bypassed the tty login.....What I did is added these lines (as the very last lines) to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
Code:
# Start KDE login automatically
/opt/kde/bin/kdm
And I can still go to the tty console from here by simply hitting Alt+N, which will take me to the tty (command line) login....
Problem Solved!!!
