I have fighting with them this afternoon so here goes some hints:
o The version I have installed is 4.0.3-4
o The prebuild kernel from rfc822.org has no PS/2 support, which prevents X
from working. You should build your own kernel with PS/2 support and make
/dev/psaux device which isn't there either:
mknod /dev/psaux c 10 1
o Your display gets fucked on all virtual terminals, I couldn't prevent that.
Once you get X working you won't care that much :)
While getting X to work I worked from another computer through the network
so I could see what was going on and try to fix it.
o Running xdm hangs my Indy with some unspected interupt and a register dump.
I use gdm insted.
o gdm insisted in trying to boot the Gnome environment, with is no
available: point /etc/gdm/Sessioins/Default symlink to Debian and
delete .gnome/gdm from the users home.
o To make sure you are not forgetting any important package install
task-x-window-sytem-core
Hope this helps
