Which card? xserver-svga is pretty generic, but there are some
specialized ones that you may need to look at other xservers for.

If you have apt configured, apt-get xserver-svga
If not, use dselect to pull it off the CD.
Failing that, mount the CD, find xserver-svga.deb (there will be some
largely irrelevant numbers after, so don't paste that exactly), and dpkg
-i
I'm surprised that the potato tasksel let you off without xserver-svga...
