You probably don't want a full XFree86 4.3 install, just the X server
for hardware support. On my laptop, I downloaded the Xxserv.tgz and
Xmod.tgz binary tarballs from xfree86.org, unpacked them in
/usr/local, repointed /etc/X11/X at /usr/local/bin/XFree86, and edited
the XF86Config file appropriately. It looks like I still have the
Debian xserver-xfree86 package installed, but I don't really use it.
