This mail thread makes lots of assumptions about things, which seems strange -
so lets take a step back
If you have installed debian what login manager are you using. I think there
is a choice of several, but the key ones are kdm, gdm and xdm. WHAT ARE YOU
USING?
I assume your graphic card has actually allowed x to start, and you just can't
get at the screen. IS THAT TRUE, OR HAVE YOU ANOTHER PROBLEM?
Rather than telnet in (which incidentally is insecure - much better to setup
sshd) you can also hit CTRL ALT F1 to get at a text screen, and then login at
the normal text prompt.
