This may sound stupid: if you can, purge as much as possible of X 
Windows. Then 

apt-get / aptitude install xorg xserver-xorg discover x-window-system

That should give you a base of the new packages to go on. If it still 
doesn't work, 

dexconf

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -plow

should help. plow asks _all_ the questions again, not just those at high 
priority.

HTH,

Andy
