I had a similar problem not so long ago, when I upgraded from woody to sarge. The cause was an innocent-looking option in the XF86Config-4 configuration file in /etc in the section that related to my graphics card. In the previous version of X under woody, this option hadn't done anything, but when I upgraded X was broken in exactly the way you describe and turning the option off fixed my problem. No error messages, nothing obviously wrong, nothing going wrong at the kernel level either -- just blank screen (actually my monitor went into power saving mode because the card stopped talking to it altogether!!!) The options available are dependent on the graphics card you have so I won't confuse you with the specific option that caused this for me. Instead, can you post your /etc/XF86Config-4 file to this list and we can see if there's anything dodgy about it.
