Okay, so after some googling and help I've installed alien, discover, xserver-common and x-window-system-core, used apt pinning to get XFree86 4.3 and re-ran xf86config 'startx' still fails as does 'kdm' What can I do?
As long as startx fails (X fails to start), kdm will fail.Run "startx 2>errorlog.txt" and then look in errorlog.txt for any lines that begin with (EE). That's most likely the culprit.
