The X maintainer has made available the 3.3.4 version for slink.  It can
be found at http://samosa.debian.org/~branden/xfree86-334-slink. If you
are using apt and the apt method in dselect(which I highly recommend 
you do) then just add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list and 
the update and upgrad.
