You should be aware that it's a little tricky to find X4 rather than X3 in dselect, as they're being run at the same time.
I still prefer aptitude (testing/unstable) or console-apt (stable) to dselect.
Try installing 'xserver-xfree86' + deps, and see where that gets you. The X 4 config (/etc/X11/XFree86Config-4) is much simpler than X 3 days.
Isn't there an X -configure or similar? X 4 crashes here, though. Bug is known and supposedly fixed in 4.2, but the other problems with 4.2 mean that it's taking a while to enter Debian.
