Now I have another problem, X window system does not start up (but it did start once after installation, using xdm) because of some IO error, it says it fails to lad some module, namely APM I think. Any one knows any possible solution?
Wow, that's a strange one. Two possible attacks come to my mind instantly: make sure that APM is enabled in the kernel ("apm=on", without quotes, on the boot line); or purge xserver-xfree86, make sure that discover, mdetect, read-edid etc are installed and reinstall xserver-xfree86, but that's drastic.
the APM thing is usually a red herring, it will come up in the logs with a WW (warning) line as its not supported but it won't make a functional difference (not in my experience anyhow) to the actual X server drawing pretty pictures on you screen. Try looking at the very end of the file for what the problem is or warnings there.
