This error has nothing to do with the installation of debian. For
starters, debian has nothing to do with configuring or using X for that
matter during install, and secondly, installation has already completed by
the time you get around to this.

I would re-run:

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

and do things properly. Beforehand though, make sure you look at the
output that:

lspci

gives you, and obtain both the BUSID and the correct make of your chipset
for the graphics card you have.
