This may sound stupid: if you can, purge as much as possible of X
Windows. Then
apt-get / aptitude install xorg xserver-xorg discover x-window-system
That should give you a base of the new packages to go on. If it still
doesn't work,
dexconf
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -plow
should help. plow asks _all_ the questions again, not just those at high
priority.
