You could also use the packages from Ubuntu Linux.

I added these lines to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary main restricted universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ warty main restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ warty universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ warty-security main restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ warty multiverse

and I could install the following Ubuntu packages:

libdmx1
libfs6
libx11-6
libx11-dev
libxau6
libxaw8
libxdmcp6
libxinerama1
libxkbfile1
libxkbfile-dev
libxkbui1
libxss1
libxxf86dga1
libxxf86misc1
libxxf86vm1
lsb-base
xbase-clients
x-dev
xdm
xfonts-100dpi
xfonts-100dpi-transcoded
xfonts-75dpi
xfonts-75dpi-transcoded
xfonts-base
xfonts-base-transcoded
xfonts-cyrillic
xfonts-scalable
xfs
xfwp
xlibmesa-dri
xlibmesa-gl
xlibmesa-gl-dev
xlibmesa-glu
xlibmesa-glu-dev
xlibs
xlibs-data
xlibs-dev
xlibs-pic
xlibs-static-dev
xlibs-static-pic
xmh
xnest
xorg-common
xorg-driver-synaptics
xserver-common
xserver-xorg
xspecs
xterm
xutils
xvfb
x-window-system

It works like a charm :)

Your mileage my vary ;)
