Unstable Dep. prevent config. of 5 xserver-xfree86 files

[Dan <dhunt@sasktel.net>]

Starting with a net install I'm attempted last night to go from a c.d. 
initiated, net installed, base system directly to the unstable 
distribution.

After the base install I added a few essential tools: mc vim aptitude 
mutt discover hotplug and mdetect. Then I  changed my 
/etc/apt/source.list to unstable from stable. Apt-get update and
apt-get dist-upgrade. Aptitude was used to select x-window system, gnome 
and kde.

I'm stuck. Have I installed something that conflicts? Should I have just 
configured x in stable or testing, them upgraded?  This method should 
have worked?
