The easiest, fastest way to do this right now...

1. Go get yourself a Knoppix CD.
2. Boot to Knoppix.  Go to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and copy it to your
hard drive's /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
3. Shut down Knoppix, eject the CD, reboot.
4. Start X.  It should work.

There's an established Debian way, but it's considerably more
involved.  If you use an nVidia card, it's far more involved (thanks
to nVidia's assenine licensing policies for it's barely-workable
drivers...they should either free the drivers and keep their customers
or eliminate them entirely and lose the customer base instead of this
bullshit license limbo self-installer crap).
