It doesn't sound like you configured X properly when you reconfigured
it.  I would suggest checking it again.  Otherwise post the relevant
sections of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf here and we take take a look at it.

Tell us also which version of Debian you are using and which video card
and monitor you have.  That will help us better diagnose what your
problem is.
