Hi! I think you want to stick to the package system.
If you use apt-get, change the /etc/apt/sources.list so that it points to unstable, then make an apt-get update then a apt-get install xserver-xfree86 (this will update not all of your system, but only the part needed by the dependencies) Then fidle around until you get it running, you might need to update some other X related packages. Afterwards restor the old sources.list and make an apt-get update again to get the old package informations back. This should be easier than tarballs...
