I did the same (on a different machine) - here are my notes:

Make sure all packages installed are XFree4 (not XFree3) packages - with 
dselect.

use xserver-XFree (not xserver-svga)

When asked for the type of monitor you get 3 choices, something like
simple - medium - detailed

I chose medium and exaggerated first on the resolution and repeat rate of my 
screen, then later I chose the particular resolution and repeat rate I wanted 
as the default (and only) resolution.

Good luck - Josef
