You should have no trouble with dselect from X as long as you don't
attempt to upgrade xbase (this trys to kill xdm during the upgrade with
disasterous results)

You should be able to run XFree86config (although I haven't done this yet)
and re-configure the setting on-the-fly, as that is essentially what
occurs during the installation. Otherwise simply edit the values in the
config file.

Luck,
