apt-get --no-install-recommends install xserver-xorg-video-intel
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics xserver-xorg xinit libgl1-mesa-dri
xserver-xorg-video-intel - change to appropriate driver for you machine
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics - perhaps does not need, if it is not laptop
bgl1-mesa-dri - for 3D, optional
See dmesg(1) for above first two points.
Also, perhaps you need install xterm. I don't remember exactly, it is
default terminal emulator for me.
For errors, if X does not started, see ~/.xsession-errors and
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
