In the log file the last message is

(EE) Device not present
(or something like this)

It seems that auto configuration did not
work.

How can I configure manually my X windows
system? is there a command such as x-config
or something like this?

That's very little for us to work with, but still I'll make a guess:

I have seen such things several times with Debian when using Radeon
(R200-R4xx) cards. The solution was to delete the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
generated by Debian; without the broken xorg.conf file the X server
autoconfigured itself nicely and correctly.

emacs /etc/X11/xorg.conf
