Emmanuel, Please do NOT bug Branden with mails about the X packages. Send questions to the mailing list.
Did you try upgrading with the XFree86 4.0.1 packages from woody? These will definitely pose problems on a potato system. Try adding the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list and then upgrade your X: deb http://people.debian.org/%7Ecpbotha/ xf401_potato/i386/ deb http://people.debian.org/%7Ecpbotha/ xf401_potato/all/ These are Branden's 4.0.1 packages that have been rebuilt on a potato system. They install with little or no problems on my potato boxen.
