I had trouble with Debian X on some Dells with (IIRC) the i810 onboard
video. My fix was to go into the BIOS and change the video memory from
1 MB to 8 MB -- this is a crappy onboard video card that uses system
memory. Also, you should look for the "Debian on Dells" project hosted
at Oregon State for kernels and even install CDs with kernels suited to
recent Dell hardware.
Good luck, and enjoy Debian!
