"XF86_NONE" indicates that you haven't selected a default Xserver. When
you install a xserver package, it will ask you something like "Do you want
to make this server the default?". Figure out what kind of server you need,
which depends on the kind of video card you are using, then find that
package in ftp.debian.org (or wherever) and install it using dselect/dpkg.
As Micheal said, ignore the comments about a symlink; Debian uses a REAL
program as /usr/X11R6/bin/X. Just let the deb package set things up for you
when you install it. From dpkg --list, I'm using the following xserver
package:
xserver-svga 3.3.2.1-1 X server for SVGA graphics cards
