Re: xserver-xorg fatal configuration

Now I see two possible problems: 1) the libkdecore.so.4 file, which I
still suspect, so I really would encourage you to try the things I
suggested earlier which you thought had no bearing on your problem. 2)
Apparently you have your system set up to ask you questions about setup
during installation from an X interface rather than a text interface;
I'd HIGHLY recommend you change that to just using plain old Dialog.
Highly. I would try going into an xterm within X, and as your normal
user who's logged into X, running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure debconf" and
selecting "Dialog". (This assumes you've configured your user to have
sufficient sudo capabilities; if not, you'll have to figure out some
other way to give root access to your X session, such as xhost
<shudder>.) But the more serious problem, from what I can see, is the
libkdecore file.

Regarding the second item, you can allso (as root in an xterm) run
dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=dialog debconf and there choose dialog as
your default frontend. And thereafter try to reinstall xserver-xorg
with dpkg -i (the errors you got in the first place from that command
are I think related to the fact that dpkg -i calls upon debconf which
tries to connect to the xserver and fails cause it doesnt have
permission to do so).

Cheers
