Debian doesn't use runlevels to detemine when to run X. X is run by using startx[1] or a graphical login manager (xdm,kdm,gdm). > Additionally I have no runlevel 5.

Debian does have a runlevel 5, it's just the same as 2-4 by default. To autostart X at boot, use a login manager(xdm, kdm, gdm) or run startx in your $HOME/.bash_profile. 1. http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tune.en.html#s-x 2. http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-system.en.html#s-runlevels
