Well, this sounds like screechingly loud evidence of upstream breakage. I've been tracking XFree86 CVS, so the post-v8 breakage you saw was probably due to that. Please consider reporting your problem to XFree86. Once we have official 4.x .debs, you can file upstream bugs through the Debian BTS again. -- G.
