help needed with startx



hello,
i am having problems with installing and running the x windows environment. i have purchased the book "Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 Unleashed" and with it i recieved a cd which included debian on it. i have previously installed debian, and x windows, on 2 machines using the "advanced linux pocketbook" cd's. this has worked without a hich. but using this new cd i have had the problem of:
when i type in startx after login i recieve the following message:
 
Could not find config file!
Tried:
    /root/XF86Config
    /etc/X11/XF86Config
    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config.Charge (user)
    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xf86Config
 
Fatal server error:
No config file found!
 
X11TransSocketUNIXconnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 giving up
xinit:    Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server
xinit:    No such process (errno 3): Server error.
 
can you please tell me what i need to do to fix this problem, i have re-installed it 3 times differently and each time it was said the same thing. if you could email me back at: the_canadian_man007@hotmail.com with an solution that would be helpful.
 
thanks.
