To get your X Server up and running try this utility: xf86config , just be sure to select your proper graphics card and refresh rates of ur monitor.

# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 might also help

If you have some high end graphics card then you might need to get its appropriate drivers from vendor

As i said before it happens only when u configure a wrong graphic card for ur system so run command that GNU hv told and configure the appropriate card .
but i still think that in configuring x server through command gives u option to select ur graphic card again

Hey, I cannot be online on Yahoo messenger, or else i'll get fired at office :) :) :)

as regards to your graphics card, you said that you're using the VESA driver... just change it to your appropriate graphics card from xf86config and your X-Server will start working fine...
