Are you sure you installed X?
Log in as root, and try 'aptitude install kde'
or 'aptitude install gnome'
to get a working desktop environment installed -- they should bring X with
them.
If aptitude is not installed then either 'apt-get install aptitude' or use
apt-get in place of aptitude.
If they turn out to be already installed and still won't run, come back.
