Kent,
Let me encourage you to keep the posts on the mailing list:1) others can provide input (and you need their input, 'cause I'm pretty limited in my ability to help),
2) others can benefit from monitoring the conversation, and 3) the information thus gets archived and becomes searchable
When I ran su dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, it cuts out half way through the reconfigure, not allowing me to finish the reconfigure, and stopping me after keyboard, how can i fix that?
I'm not sure what you mean by "cuts out". Do you mean the program freezes, or terminates normally, or terminates abnormally, or what?
You may have to do something like dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg; others might have better suggestions.

Right now, I can boot into KDE, with the gui, but apart from
that there are no icons, and everytime I left click, I get a
teale colored menu box. I know that I am doing something
wrong, and would love help. Any other information needed I am
glad to supply.
It sounds like either you have an incomplete installation of KDE,
or file/permissions corruption, or most-likely, video driver
issues. I'd change my video driver to nv or to vesa, whichever
gives the best results. You can do this in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
file.
