kernel version is independent of distribution version.  You can run 
Debian 3.0 on top of either a 2.2 or a 2.4 kernel.  If your 2.2 
kernel is supporting all your hardware, no need to mess with it.

Okay, try this: open a terminal window under X and run:

xdpyinfo | more

and look for the XFree86 version number.

Also, you might running gdm instead of xdm?  Are you using the gnome 
desktop? Do:

ps ax | grep xdm

and

ps ax | grep gdm

If you are running gdm, your logs are in /var/log/gdm
