The simplest thing might just be to upgrade to woody. To do this, you edit
your sources.list to point to woody (or testing), and then run 'aptget
dist-upgrade'. This might be simplest, as XFree86 4.0 is not in potato,
but it is in woody.
Of course, you'll probably only want to do this if you have a fast internet
connection, as it'll probably require a heck of a lot of downloads...
