you need the following packages installed:
xbase, xlib6, xserver-vga16 (if you want graphical config interface), xserver
for your card (my guess is xserver-s3 or xserver-svga in your case). After
you've installed them, run XF86Setup (graphical configuration) or xf86config
(text-based configuaration).

Looks like you are missing a window manager. Debian has a number of window
managers to choose from, including afterstep, fvwm2, fvwm95, twm and so on.
They are all located in section x11. YOu may also want to install menu
package which will put most of the programs you have installed on your window
manager's menu. You may also edit you window manager's rc file to create
custom menus, or you may use the menu package's custom menus, which will make
your custom menus available to all window managers.

No. Debian is not allowed to distribute netscape. The netscape package you
see is just an installer. YOu need to put netscape archive in /tmp for the
installer package to work.
