-You will need several X packages. The `xserver-xorg` brings you most of what you need:

-* `xserver-xorg`
-* `xfonts-base`
-* `xfonts-100dpi`
-* `xfonts-75dpi`
-* `xfonts-scalable`
-* `xbase-clients`
-* `xutils`

- * WindowMaker, `wmaker`
- * FVWM, `fvwm`
- * Blackbox, `blackbox`
- * TWM, `twm`

-I know that Window Maker works, however, I cannot attest to the others. xfce4 is broken.

The recommended way of configuring X is using the `xserver-xorg` debconf template, eg:
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
-This currently seems to be broken in the Debian package so you will probably have to create xorg.conf by hand.
-
-It may be easier to just copy a working configuration from another operating system on the same computer and place it in `/etc/X11/xorg.conf`, but this is discouraged as you would have to remove some sections by hand.

**_IMPORTANT:_** when you configure X, make sure you do **NOT** enable the `speedo` and `dri` modules because they are currently broken.
