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...
