Well, a bit premature on solved status. The upgrade from Sarge to Etch

the system in a good state. Minor problems include Postgre failing on
boot, as well as a mini-DNS server that I don't believe was in Sarge
failing to start, but the main problem is that X is inoperable.

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.
