Have you looked at the release notes?  Perhaps:

http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#s-xorg

Release Notes for Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 ("etch"), Intel x86 - Issues to
be aware of for etch

5.3 XFree86 to X.Org transition

Also, /etc/X11/xorg.conf and  $ man xorg.conf.

Post errors from /var/log/ for more help.

Ralph
