problems launching kde

Hello guys. i've a lil problem launching kde
when i send startx, after the nvidia img i got this:
Code:
xkb_keycodes         { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" }
xkb_types         { include "complete" }
xkb_compatibility         { include "complete" }
xkb_symbols         { include "pc(pc105)+us" }
xkb_geometry         { include "pc(pc105)" }
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 47 xterm : command not found
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 48 xterm : command not found
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 49 exec : command not found

waiting for X server to shut down FreeFontPath: FPE "usr/share/fonts/misc/" ref count is 2 should be 1; fixing.
any idea?

Looks like something's wrong with your /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file, the error points to lines 47, 48, and 49. Take a look, or maybe even post it here.

                      #if the x bit is set on .xinitrc

I'm not exactly sure what the problem is, from what I've seen via google, that error isn't what is stopping xwindows, something is probably wrong in the config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf).

Have you gone through this documentation? It takes you through installing and configuring xorg. Afterwards, try this out for KDE.
