You could use dselect and select the package xserver-xxxx ( e.g.
xserver-svga ), where xxxx depends on the kind of graphic card you have.
dselect will pick all
the packages needed to by the server (not the client apps, however).

Then you have to run XF86Setup to configure X.

I usually initially install also the package xserver-vga16, which will
give you low'resolution X (16 colors, 640x480 pixels) in case XFree86
does not support your graphic card.
