ahhh....
hmm are you sure your using the right server?
The Debian setup is a very nice one but...takes a little getting used to
from other systems.,...
do you have the right Xserver installed? (they are xserver-* packages)
I know you probably have all this right but it doesn't hurt to check all the
bases :)
can you give a dump of x startup? ( startx 2> dump )
some others suggested explicitly telling it how much RAM...id try that too
