Scrap the previous...  This seriously broke stuff...  :)
However, just adding 
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main restricted
and apt-get update && apt-get install xserver-xorg is working.  But I have a 
feeling I will end up with a pretty unstable system mixing repositories like 
this.  I have read somewhere before where you can mix reps for different 
version of the same packages, but I don't remember how that worked.
Something for another day...
