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.
If using X 4, try:
dpkg-reconfigure --p=low xserver-xfree86
from Debian quick reference manual at: http://www.uk.debian.org/doc/manuals/quick-reference/ch-tune.en.html#s9.4
It worked for my work machine with an i810 graphics chip.
