Well I upgraded my xorg-server from 1.3.0 to 1.5.3 (masked) in order
to overcome some of the KDE4.2 blocks I was encountering (for some
particular kde4.2 package, which escapes me for the moment.
So I ungraded, updated my ati driver (I use the radeon driver not one
from ATI) and now my X server won't start. It says 'X server died on
start up' and 'Can't start display on 0:0' or something similar, I'm
writing this on the same box from a different OS. What next? How do I
fix this?
You might want to read this:

The main reason 1.5 wasn't stabilized long ago is probably that
upgrading isn't fully automatic. Just follow the links there and read
the instructions.
