first, which CD/DVD did you load from? if it was the server CD, i
suspect that doesn't install X, being a server CD and all.
if you know you loaded all of the graphical components and you
*know* they should be running, it may be a non-supported (or
poorly-supported) video card. what's your video card? and take a
look at the X log file /var/log/Xorg.0.log for diagnostics. that will
generally tell you what's gone horribly, horribly wrong.
