One finds out what sound card one has by using "lspci -vv", then one 
modprobes the appropriate sound module(s).  Debian disdains 
"user-friendly" tools like sndconfig for the most part.  Hope your 
soundcard isn't on the ISA bus, since that makes things trickier.  
Report the results of "lspci -vv | grep -A6 audio" to the mailing list, 
and someone can tell you exactly what to modprobe.

Regarding your X problems:  A general X troubleshooting tip that has 
worked well for me in the past is to look at /var/log/XFree*.log , go 
to the first line in that file that matches (EE) , then look at the 10 
or 20 lines before that first EE line.  That's all I did with your 
problem!  HTH,
