/etc/X11/X is supposed to be a symlink to your Xserver binary. In my
case it points to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 (running woody). Just create
the symlink yourself and give it another shot.
BTW, if you have installed one of the potato xserver-* packages, you
probably have to link to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86_* (from memory).
