    Couple of things you could try.

    dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

    and follow trough the wizard type thing.. if it still doesn't want to know try looking at the xorg.conf file, especially around the area of the device graphics driver section.. that's the usual one.

    Did you select "desktop" in the installation menu?? If you are sure you did then you can either use apt-get to try installing the x environment again, or validate your media and try installing again.

    Otherwise.. there are more answers and possibilities than I can ever post.. google is your friend.
