It's strange that this problem would just suddenly start. What have you done to your computer recently that could possibly cause a problem. Been fiddling with anything new recently?

There's always the brute force method. Re-install the X packages.

Did you upgrade the kernel? Which hardware are you using?

iamroot, you can run apt-get rpm from the command line, you don't have to have synaptic.
