Now I've installed

ii  xserver-xorg                         1:7.4~5
the X.Org X server
ii  xserver-xorg-core                 2:1.5.99.902-1

on lenny and it works quite well. The only problem is that the
keyboard layout is en and not de.
Part of my xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "kbd"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc105"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "de"
        Option          "XkbVariant"    "nodeadkeys"
EndSection

So de should work, but does not.

Best regards
