screen me appears black In this case the commando ps -ax it produces 
following output

 If  I give the commando startkde I obtain the following message

[root at s2000 ~]# startkde
xsetroot:  unable to open display ''
xset:  unable to open display ""

I have tried of all.

I enclose the configuration of the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf

# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "single head configuration"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "it"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "vesa"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"

        EndSubSection
EndSection


To me enough to start kde even if I do not take advantage of all the 
possibilities of the graphical card.

I do not have experience of serveur X and I do not know where to find 
driver and like installing them.

I ask aid you

Thanks
