Xwrapper.config is missing?
Mine is:
### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION
# Do not edit within this region if you want your changes to be preserved by
# debconf. Instead, make changes after the "### END DEBCONF SECTION" line.
allowed_users=console
nice_value=-10
### END DEBCONF SECTION
Maybe if you create Xwrapper.config with that content it will work. It
should have been created by the X install (is X configured?).

Are you trying to run a Sarge Xfree on Woody?

In your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file, you will find something like this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Generic Video Card"
Driver "vesa"
# BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
# Option "UseFBDev" "true"
EndSection
Try changing the word after Driver to "vesa".
IfFailure: Try "vga16"
