maybe a

xserver-xorg-input-bar
could help or at least give you some hints.

I ran into a similar situation last week when ditching an nvidia card
for the onboard via. Check your xorg.conf file and see if it has the
correct entries for your system. dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ran
through all of the questions (and even remembered my entries from
previous runs), but would not change the xorg.conf file because it
looked like it was a customized file. Part of the problem was due to
upgrading from etch and it's stock kernel (2.6.15-blah) to sid
(2.6.16-blah) and modules like nv not being available.
hope this helps,
