You should start X with the command "startx", not "X".

You might want to read the XFree86-HOWTO and XWindow-User-HOWTO.  They were
probably installed with Debian.  If not, they're at www.linuxdoc.org.  You
might also read around at www.debian.org/doc/.

Sounds as if you haven't correctly installed the X Window System.

lspci just says what the PCI bus has detected.  It says nothing about what
software is installed on  your system.

Stable is currently installing 2.2.19pre17.  You might want to run (as root)

	apt-get update
	apt-get upgrade

if you have apt installed.

Read the Installation Guide at www.debian.org and the HOWTO and you should
be fine.

I see that you're posting from France, but your name looks Japanese to me. 
Note that there are Japanese and French mailing lists for Debian, and
projects to translate the documentation. 

I hope that helps.
