If I were you, I'd probably use dselect to remove X base, which should give a message about dependency problems and hopefully remove other X stuff. Then let dselect/dpkg remove it. Then turn around and add X base back to your system (dependency stuff should include what you need), make sure you install the X server you want to use (SVGA, Mach64, etc), and let dselect/dpkg reinstall all that. Then see if things work the way you want. I'm sure there's a better way to fix this, but being limited in knowledge of the under-the-hood workings, this is what I'd try.
