that was wrong, should do like this "yum -y install kdebase"
or it won't find the package.
I am wondering if i need to reinstall the video card driver and edit the xorg file after I have install the KDE, all the things working normally in my GNOME enviroment.
thanks

lance, install "switchdesk" also, then just use the command "switchdesk kde" or "switchdesk gnome" to change. You will still have to restart x though.

To launch KDE from the command line, use "startkde".

I would guess that after you run switchdesk, then startx will take its lead from there

That's alright, it didn't cause me any problem.
I have an ATI X700 mobility video card.
