Well, I needed a bunch of library packages from the unstable (Woody) release, so I tried using apt-get to do it, and it decided I needed to upgrade the X packages as well. So okay, I wanted 4.0 anyway, but here's the problem (after eliminating some intervening steps):
$ X > /tmp/x.out 2>&1 X: Cannot stat /etc/X11/X (No such file or directory), aborting (This test was recommended by the Xfree86 HOWTO -- the same thing happens with startx, and xdm, while it doesn't visibly complain, also doesn't work -- no errors, but no visible effects either, after a few minutes it shuts down again). Indeed, there is no /etc/X11/X, but I don't know what should be there. Is it a symlink? If so, to what? I believe xf86config was run during the install process, as I had to answer some questions about my video card, mouse, and monitor. Of course, I was previously using XF86Setup, so the interface has changed visibly from what I was used to -- but it appeared to be pretty much the same information. Now, of course, I did not force all of packages to upgrade to Woody, just the ones following the dependencies I needed, but I think I have all the new X packages despite the changes (but something could've fallen through the cracks). Please CC me -- I'm using a Yahoo mailer because my usually mail system is down too. Fortunately Lynx still works! :D Thanks!
