You don't actually have an a.out system do you? Which version of Debian are you running? It's bound to be an elf system since you call yourself a newbie and a.out went obsolete years ago. So, anyway, you ought to be installing .deb packages from a debian mirror rather than source code from x.org. There's a whole directory of X-related packages called 'x11'. You'll definitely want xbase. If you are installing from a CD, X is probably on it. How did you install Debian? Have you used .deb packages?
