Strange that it was empty. Did you check the actual X log itself
at /var/log/XFree86.0.log?
It's hard to say from the info you give, but it seems to me that you
probably have X not configured. Where you asked a bunch of display-
related questions when installing? If not (well, you can try in any
case), try this as root in a shell:
"dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86"
