X11 problem

Hi everybody!
I want to ask someone to help me,I've downloaded the xorg-xserver package by apt-get so,I've got it installed,but there is a little problem,when it asks me for the configuration to make xorg.conf it can't create the file at the end,it writes the following errors:
dexconf:error: cannot generate configuration file;shared/default-x-server not set.Aborting.Reconfigure the X server with dpkg-reconfigure to correct this problem

xserver-xorg postinst warnning:error while preparing new Xorg X server configuration file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.dpkg-new;not attempting to update existing configuration.

If I write dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg the it writes one more note(and the two errors that I mentioned too)server-xorg postinst warningverwriting possibly-customised configuration file;backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf20071031130821,I guess it's because the xorg .conf file has been already created before,but unfortunatelly it's empty.So,the first configuration creates an empty file.Could someone help me?

Just use the xserver to configure. As the root user create the base configuration

Code:

cd ~ &&
Xorg -configure

The test it

Code:

X -config ~/xorg.conf.new

And, if it works, install it

Code:

install -v -m755 -D ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
