You need 2.2.18.  It's out; I don't think there's an official Debian
package of it yet in unstable, but getting your own package is as easy 
as installing the kernel-package (and bin86 if required) package,
unpacking the source somewhere, copying in an old .config file,
running 'make menuconfig' (or 'make xconfig' if you prefer), and then
'make-kpkg buildpackage' and installing the resulting Debian package.

This of course assumes that you're either running unstable or have a
rebuilt X 4.0.1 package for stable/testing.  But yeah, it works very
well for me.
