xorg wont work and wont generate a log



Hello, I have a brand new HP pavillion laptop with debian unstable amd64
installed.

I cannot get x to start, but more worrying than that is that
/var/log/Xorg.0.log does not exist, and never gets generated.

here are the packages related to X that I have installed:

,----
| ii  xserver-xorg 1:7.3+6 
| ii  xorg 1:7.3+6 
| ii  xserver-xorg-core  2:1.4-3
| ii  xserver-xorg-input-all 1:7.3+6 the
| ii  xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:1.2.0~git20070819-4 
| ii  xserver-xorg-input-kbd 1:1.2.2-3
| ii  xserver-xorg-input-mouse 1:1.2.3-1 
| ii  xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 0.14.7~git20070706-1
| ii  xserver-xorg-input-wacom 0.7.7.11-1 
| ii  xfonts-base 1:1.0.0-5
| ii  xbase-clients 1:7.3+6  
`----

I don't mind fixing X, I have done it before but not having a log file
makes it impossible for me (or you :-)) to diagnose what the problem
could be.

I am starting x via gdm but if I use the startx command on tty1 I get:
,----
| giving up.
| xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): Unable to connect to X server
| xinit: No such processs (errno 3): Server error.
`----
 and again, no log at all of anything in /var/log/

Can someone please help me?
