Fine. You should consider using a window manager like fvwm though.

Weird, a normal user isn't in that group by default.

I have:
root@tal:~# ls -al /dev/tty0
crw------- 1 root root 4, 0 Mar 14 16:04 /dev/tty0
I'm guessing that your results will be different!

Right. ... Ok. ... My guess is that you couldn't get X to start, and so
decided to have a "play" with things and see if you could fix it. Am I
right or am I right? :)

First of all, Don't Panic! The good thing about Debian is, it is
fixable.
Can you remember the changes you have done?
How are you starting X? We need to know the exact commands.
What is the result of:
apt-cache policy xorg
