I'm running testing, and I just finally upgraded to X 4.0.2 yesterday.
From what I understand, I should still be able to run 3.3.6, just by

Alt-Ctrl-F1 should take you back to the first virtual console (and
Alt-Ctrl-F2 to the 2nd, etc). You should be able to log into a text
console there and edit /etc/X11/XF86Config by hand or run XF86Setup or
the like
