If you use dpkg you (of course) need to install also the package
dependencies.  Apt pulls the deps too.

There have been known issues also with upstream X server in this
respect.  See the freedesktop.org bugzilla.

I don't remember in which versions of X they were fixed (and there
were some workarounds for Xnee too I think).
