Just another data point: I (actually a friend of mine) was also bitten by this bug today. We solved the problem by editing /var/cache/debconf/config.dat and adding "Value: vserver-xorg" line after "Template: shared/default-x-server" line (but not adding the "Flags: seen" line), then executing "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg". Before doing this, we messed around a bit, looking at the command line history, I believe before changing the debconf database, we did the following: 1. Copy an old xorg.conf into /etc/X11/. 2. Remove /etc/X11/X symlink. 3. Run "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" Then we changed /var/cache/debconf/config.dat and re-ran dpkg-reconfigure, and it worked.
