There are experimental X 4.3 packages available for Debian, simply add this
line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://penguinppc.org/~daniels/sid/i386 ./ 

and then apt-get update and apt-get upgrade 

By the way, you can search for experimental or other sources that aren't in
the standard Debian repositories by going to http://www.apt-get.org
