Usually X is not installed automatically but if you select desktop
system with tasksel you probably already have the necessary software,
you just need to configure it properly. Install the following
programs: read-edid, hotplug. This will help you a bit further. Then
run:
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
(xserver should be installed). Answer all the questions and see if xdm
will start up. Changing from xdm to kdm can be done by
dpkg-reconfigure either of them I think or just by update-alternatives
(read the man page).
In any case, find a copy of the debian installation manual (there's a
link on the debian website) and _read_ it. This will help you a lot
more with your problems.
greets,
Wim
