X Install problems-Re-Install X only ?



Hi Folks,

I've now got myself a copy of the 4 binary cd's,the 2.2_r4 version. I  made 
it to the point of configging x where upon the install went badly wrong. It 
found my video card well enough ( an nvidia tnt2 m64 something w/32  mg o' 
ram :-)...it's an agp card.. the motherboard is a K7S5A w/an athlon 750 & 256 
meg o'ram...anyways.. the xconfig file never got installed..I know this.  It 
was trying to load,I got a message saying  to push "ok" to switch to graphics 
mode..then I'd get an error message something along the lines of "ernno11" ? 
It did not give me a signal 11..(at least that I know of) like I was getting 
when trying to install this in another box . Which I never did get to 
install...(an FIC 503+, k6 2-500 in an AT case)

Well I had to do a crtl-alt-delete to get the machine to stop cycling between 
the error messages because x was certainly not going to load that I could 
see. So I get back to log in well enough (am able to do so,as root too ). I'm 
even able to cruise my directories via midnight commander..get to linuxconf 
and a few other places..just not load x (of course not cause xconfig never 
got loaded !!)


When I type "startx" now I get errors along the lines of "/usr/bin/x11/xauth 
error in loading shared libraries libXmu.so.6 cannot open shared libraries"
Or "xinit error" and the like...

So my question is..how do I load x again in Debian without going thru a 
complete install again ? I took the advanced route (omg the the package 
selection here is outstanding). I love what I see from debian so far,just 
wish I could get it to run..lol.

If I was still in Mandrake I'd know what to do, but the vibes from Debian are 
really nice  :-). So once again I thank you all so very much for your time !!
