Thank you for replies! As I understand, "xserver-xorg" will install /usr/bin/X binary, which is a X Window Server itself and "xinit" installs the /usr/bin/xinit utility which starts the X Window Server and window manager(dwm in my case) as a X Windows Server client. As I have Intel 945GM video card, I need to install "xserver-xorg-video-intel" package, but why exactly is this needed? I mean at the moment, according to "lspci -vvv", I use i915.ko driver and it's able to show the picture. Or is the performance lot better with intel_drv.so driver which will be installed with "xserver-xorg-video-intel" package? Or is it a problem for xserver if the driver module runs in kernel space? In addition, am I correct that "xserver-xorg-input-evdev" just installs the necessary user-space driver for handling mouse and keyboard input to xserver?
