I believe that the problem is with your version of Xorg. I did
not have a working X a year or two ago. As I already mentioned, 
I am now using this version:

X.Org X Server 1.6.1.901 (1.6.2 RC 1)
Release Date: 2009-5-8
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0
Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.27.2-dsa-usii sparc Debian
Current Operating System: Linux ultra5 2.6.30-1-sparc64 #1 
 Wed Jul 8 01:18:17 UTC 2009 sparc
Build Date: 14 May 2009  04:50:27PM
xorg-server 2:1.6.1.901-2 (buildd@spontini) 

Try to upgrade to squeeze (testing) where I see that Xorg is now
at 2:1.7.7-1.
