Backported kernels are up to 2.6.22 but Thinkpad T61 audio needs 2.6.24.
It recently migrated into Testing but it's still unknown whether it will
be included in EtchAndAHalf (4.0r4).

xserver-xorg does not appear to have been backported to Etch.

(Just a reminder that we're talking about Debian here.)
