I hope you typed that instead of using cut & paste - otherwise the missing /
before "usr" would be a clue!

Most of the X man pages were left out in dapper.  I filed a bug report
(darned if I can find it in Launchpad, though), and this week I got an
email that it had been confirmed.  No idea if that means they'll actually
be put back before dapper is released, though.  However, this particular
page appears to exist.

Meanwhile, try: aptitude reinstall xserver-xorg-core
That should fix the Xorg man page.
