problem installing debian



Hi, I recently got a copy of debian 2.2r4 through one of the official vendors on the debian website and i'm having trouble accessing the x window system
 
this is the error message i get when initx or startx command is used:
 
_exec of usr/bin/x11/xf86_NONE failed
_x11transSocketUNIXConnect can't connect: errno= (111)
giving up
xinit:connection refused (errno 111) unable to connect to xserver
no such process (errno 3) server error
 
I've heard about problems with the geforce2 mx400/linux and since using this card have had trouble using graphics with other distros as well (mandrake, suse)
 
my system:
1Ghz K7
Gigabyte 7dxr m/b
256mb DDR Ram
nvidia Geforce2 mx400 64mb
2 HDs
 
debian was installed using a 128mb swap partition and two other 3gb linux native partitions,
initially i installed a lot of packages incl. the x-windows components but a lot of errors were reported during setup, after i found i couldn't get to a desktop i tried reinstalling the system and installed the xwin components ONLY however the same errors and problem occured - any help will be gratefully received (it may be something really obvious but i'm an absolute beginner (sorry))
