command lines at bootup

I just upgraded to OpenSuse 1.4 from 1.1 and it boots straight to the command lines. After login I type startx and it still does not go to the KDE desktop or anywhere else fo that matter.

Can anyone tell me how to get to a GUI desktop from the commandline screen?

Thank you,

Log in or become root type
