Did you take a look into the emacs info pages or the text file
/usr/share/emacs/21.4/etc/DOC-21.4 (depending on your emacs version)?
I use a line like
emacs*Font: 7x13
in my .Xdefaults file.

You go back into linux. By default thesystem will detect unclean shutdown
and will try to check/fix the partitions. You can look in log files, once
you get in , for clues to what happened. /var/log/syslog and
~/.xsession-errors could be a good place to start.

Greg,
thanks so much. Can anyone help me out further? How do I add
a user to the XWindows group? This sounds alien.

No problems here. I've had to do lots of tweaking for the monitor, but
the card itself (a Diamond Viper V330) has never given me any trouble at
all.

Put the name of the X server in /etc/X11/Xserver. Then use xdm or xinit or
startx.

The files you need are in
http://www.debian.org/Packages/stable/
/x11/xbase
with all the required packages, such as
cpp, ncurses-base, lib6c, ncurses3.4, xlib6g
/x11/xserver <-- Video card dependant.
/x11/xfntbase
/x11/xfnt75
Those are basic files that you need to install Xwindows.
