Not that I want to discourage you from playing with QtMoko, but if you
do want to get X working again, download

xserver-xorg-core_1.11.4-1_armel.deb
xserver-xorg-input-tslib_0.0.6-7+b1_armel.deb
xserver-xorg-video-fbdev_0.4.2-4+b2_armel.deb
xserver-xorg-video-omap3_0.1.1.1-1+b2_armel.deb

from your local Debian mirror and

 dpkg -i xserver-xorg-*

Subsequent attempts to use "apt-get" to install things will fail until you use
   apt-get install -f
to fix it up.  But that will break X again.
I guess I really should submit a bug report.  In my spare time :-)
