Go to your $HOME directory and run
grep terminal .*

OK, do you have installed X.org or XFree86? Try (in X)
xdpyinfo | grep vendor
What's the result?
Proper configuration of X:
1) install discover (or discover1), mdetect, and whatever is Recommended by
your X server (xserver-xorg or xserver-xfree86; for further discussion I
assume it is xserver-xfree86, but you should really check it)
2) run (as root and with X shut down)
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
3) setting of kdm login:
be sure to install kdm and then run (as root):
dpkg-reconfigure kdm
Let us know what are the results,
Matej
