Hello Andriy,
for me it looks strange that you want to start the X-Server on tty0. The
normal behaviour under debian is to start it on tty7 or higher. As much as
I remember tty0 is inhibited to start the X-Server on it. What is if you
start it on another console, maybe tty5? 
Please post the content of your 
/etc/inittab
In mine you can find: 
# Note that on most Debian systems tty7 is used by the X Window System,
# so if you want to add more getty's go ahead but skip tty7 if you run X.
tty0 is not listed in my /etc/inittab.
