in /etc/kde3/kdm/Xservers, add an -ac swith to the X command:
:0 local@tty1 /etc/X11/X -ac -dpi 75 -nolisten tcp vt7
but don't ask me why!

If you just need XF 4.2 to support new hardware, just grap the Xxserv.tgz and
Xmods.tgz binaries from xfree86.org, install them over your debian install
(in /usr/X11R6), and put a few packages in hold state into dselect:
xlibmesa-dev
xlibmesa3
xlibosmesa-dev
xserver-common
xserver-xfree86
and you will be able to live for a few weeks until XF4.2 arrives in sid...
Cheers,
Gilles.
