I suggest you to search for a backports repository - You can find some
here:

http://www1.apt-get.org/search.php?query=xorg&submit=Submit+Query&arch%5B%5D=i386&arch%5B%5D=all

There is no xorg 7.0 backport yet, and I fear it will not be easy to
add one (as the Debian xorg 7.0 introduced _major_ packaging changes,
if somebody puts up a backport it will probably be completely made
from scratch to behave as close as xfree 4.3 as possible).
