X help

I am running Debian 1.31.  I want to install X windows on my system. 
Keep in mind that I have run X windows on this machine in the past using
XFree86.  So I know there is no incompatability in the software hardware
issue.

Here is the problem:

I cannot run XF86Setup.  It will not show anything on my monitor.  I
configure it by way of xf86config and run startx and get a blank screen
also.  I have tried the copy off my CD and the copy on the debian FTP
site with the same results.  BTW, it must be loading because all I have
to do is wait for the hard drive activity to stop and press
CTRL-ALT-Backspace and get back to my CLI.  This has to be something
simple that I have overlooked since I cannot see the system not
working.  BTW, I have looked at the configuration file from my old
install and cannot find anything meaningfull different between the two.  

Here is my hardware:

HP Pavilion 7166
133 MHZ Pentium
36 MEG RAM
Several HD's
IDE CD-rom
S3 Trio64 V+ built in vidio card with 1 MEG ram
HP Pavilion 15" Monitor

Hope this helps.

Thanks
