You are probably logging onto xdm at the moment. I think you should take a look at what slackware uses (gdm,kdm etc) and apt-get install it.
I would also like to use Xorg instead of Xf86 because it seems to support my monitor better.
Xorg is not yet part of the debian distro. Maybe this link will help you:
