Better if you provide the X log for this error or tell us more about what
does not work, what are you seeing in the screen, what error..
something :-)
Remember that if X is not available or crashes you usually can still jump
to a console (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and work from there. An X server is just
another non-vital piece of the whole puzzle that is your system.

The X settings that once worked for Lenny can fail in Squeeze. You better
reconfigure the xorg server to generate a good "xorg.conf" file.
