Try 'startx' or 'xinit' Various nixes use various commands to get X going.
If this does not work either, provide fully what error messages you get so
that the rest of us can get an idea of what could be goin wrong.

I still get the same error message , Here is what it says:

Attention
Frequency out of range

Also, i am having trouble using the gcc c compiler, i can use cc, but
when installing the packages, it said that i have installed it,
however when i try to call it from the command line, it wont let me.


Sounds like your xorg.conf file is wrong in some way, for it is trying
to refresh your monitor at a frequency it can't take. You are lucky then
it refuses run, for some monitors will burn themselves up with the wrong
refresh rate. As for your programs that you compile, try going directly
to the directory where the executable file resides and call it there,(or
set your path to look into that directory when you type a command) and
also check permissions, if you compile as root, the program may expect
to be run as root.
