Is there a file /etc/X11/X? Yes: Is it a symbolic link? No: Is it executable? Yes: You'll have to ask someone else what to do. No: Make it executable using chmod. Yes: Make sure the file it points to exists and is executable. No: Either change the first line of /etc/X11/Xserver to be the name of an existing executable xserver; or make /etc/X11/X be or point to one.
(If someone else on this list contradicts what I just said, listen to them, not me. The above works for me, but may not be "Debian-pure".)
