This is starting to sound like a common problem.

I have knoppix 3.4 and recently did an apt-get update and now i have to manually login and type startx. KDM doesn't load automatically anymore even though it is in /etc/rc5.d

When i manually try to start kdm as root nothing happens. No error messages or anything.

It's common not to get x server automatically if you install knoppix from outside kde ( from command line login ). The only solution I know is to do a reinstall from inside KDE.

Your problem also common if update KDE from/inside KDE. KDE should be update/upgrade from outside KDE where KDM is not running. You can try install GDM as an alternative to KDM.
If you still want to use KDM, read this post:
