Hi - while looking around my box for info on Exim4, I happened upon
this Directory;
~$ /var/backups
within this Dir is a file relating to Dpkg cache -->
/var/backups/dpkg.status.0
This is a Plain text document, and easily readable - within is some
info about X (and all the installed packges);

This is on Debian Sarge (2.6.8-2) w/both KDE (3.3.2) and Gnome -- I'm
posting this info in case I made some errors above about *which*
packages you may need/want...and NOTE; these packages are NOT for Xorg
- I have no Xorg stuff. I believe Xorg is just like below but replaces
XFree86, and comes as Default with Newer 2.6 Kernel versions than the
one I have

Description: files and utilities common to all X servers
The X server is the hardware interface of the X Window System.  Its
job is to
communicate with video display and input devices, and present them in
a
standardized, abstract fashion via the X protocol to X clients
(X-based
programs).  The X server largely relieves programs of having to know
or care
about the details of the hardware with which they are interacting
(such
things as 32-bit versus 8-bit color, the layout of the keyboard, how
many
buttons the mouse has, etc.).  The catch is that the X server must
itself
know the technical specifications of the graphics hardware and
monitor, the
keyboard layout, the protocol used by the mouse, and so forth.
