my one cent's worth:

If you managed to get debian installed without X anyway, you might try to
get the mouse working first. 

1) Install (with 'dselect') gpm-package and run 'gpm-config'. 

and next maybe try to find out, if your 'Voodoo' -card is supported. 
(you can look at the long list of 'xservers' by using 'dselect') 

2) 
Then install (with 'dselect') (trying to get X working):

xf86setup
xserver-common
xserver-vga16

and 
xserver-for your 'voodoo'-card (look at the list of all xservers, maybe
you'll find it, perhaps someone knows, if is supported or not)

and
one of the x-window-managers

and run 'XF86Setup'
