First make sure that all necessary packages are installed:
apt-get install x-window-system-core
Then use debconf to configure X:
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
If that doesn't work, take a look at the output of startx or the XFree
log file /var/log/Xfree86.0.log). Look for lines starting with (EE). If
you still have problems, post more information, this should be helpful:
- the (EE) and (WW) lines and the last 10-15 lines from startx output or
the X log file (/var/log/XFree86.0.log)
- the type of your graphic card
- the version number of XFree you are using (if you use Debian Woody
(3.0) then this will be 4.1)
- the��"Device" and "Screen"�section�of�the�XFree�config�file�(/etc/X11
XF86Config-4)
