Thanks for your suggestions, I tried and was successful in installing
Squeeze, then upgrading it to Wheezy!

However, even after carefully following the X rebuild instructions
(http://wiki.debian.org/DebianYeeloong/HowTo/Install#Squeeze_X),
including the devscripts part, I get an segmentation fault when I try
to start X. Please see screenshot here:

The segmentation fault/error is not exactly the one reported in bug
#594684 (http://bugs.debian.org/594684), so I am not sure if it is a
problem with how I followed the instructions??? I've already rebuilt
again, but still same problem.

Thanks for your help so far, please let me know how I can troubleshoot
this problem. Thanks!
