Ok, just download the x-base and xserver packages that fit your video
card, and other dependencies.
Then, login as root ( still in consile mode, you can not run X without
configuring it first) and type xf86config
THis will run a config program that will let you configure video
card/monitor/keyboard/mouse for X.

HTH,
