Well, I have my doubts about this being the easiest way. Personally,
if I were going to try and upgrade X, and wanted to stick to potato,
I'd try the xfree86-4.0.2 debs Charl Botha was kind enough to
create for potato. You can get 'em with apt too. Just read:

I have *NOT* tried this myself so, along with Charl himself, I can't
make any guarantees! Seems to me it couldn't be any worse than a
full-blown upgrade to woody, but who knows.
