Are you sure?

X.org is not part of the official sarge release which means you have
either unofficial backports or Debian testing/unstable in your
/etc/apt/sources.list (and didn't tell apt to ignore it). Please show us
the output of 'apt-cache policy xserver-xorg'.

# echo 'APT::Default-Release "stable";' >> /etc/apt/apt.conf

should make apt prefer stable package versions. You might already have
packages installed, which are not part of stable, though. Downgrading is
always an adventure.
