Hello, I have a brand new HP pavillion laptop with debian unstable amd64

I cannot get x to start, but more worrying than that is that
/var/log/Xorg.0.log does not exist, and never gets generated.

Dear,
I have the same problem on two new installed box. I do not know
what to do.
And on an old box which upgraded to 7.3, it crashed a lot, and
switching to tty just gives a beautiful colored screen....
I would start by running "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and choosing
the SVGA driver (even if you have an nVidia or ATI or other card that is
supported). Then try running "startx". If that doesn't work, try the VGA
driver.
Both of these options will give you worse video settings than you want
to use, but perhaps they'll be a start to solving the problem.
