well I would say you have something pinned at a specific version, so xorg is unable to fulfill a dependency request for a version of some package or other it is looking for...

So is there a specific reason you are mixing versions and pinning apps ?

what do you have pinned ?

I had that problem - I had to grab an xserver from the debian snaphot repos.

I know that a new xorg hit either yesteday today in sid so you might get lucky,

Yes.ur right.the xserver-xorg was broken in a new sid install.now with latest release xserver-xorg is fixed.
thanks for all ur help!
