Well, do you have any font installed?  Installing only a few packages of
the x stuff may very well leave you without fonts or other necessary
items.  

Run dselect.  Read the comments for all the packages in the X11 sections.
What you need to get X up and running is documented there, and you may
find other interesting items too.  The server package alone isn't enough,
you need at least a couple of others.
