Please now know, that I needed to restart this machine to run 2.6.4-1-k7 and also finally installed udev. As of right now, I have zero X displays on the machine available to me. I did remove udev and similar results. Another tidbit, I have another machine I updated just after the -7 revision came out. Runs fine. But now that I have updated it to current. It also fails to be able to runs dpkg-reconfigure as well. Further more, I have back revd the machine I originally had the problem with to -5. Still has the same issue. So, it might be something that has changed OUTSIDE xserver-xfree86. I believe the this will need to be changed back to grave soon. > DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer dpkg --configure xserver-xfree86 > or temporarily adding "set -x" as 2nd line to > /var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.postinst and running > "dpkg --configure xserver-xfree86" might show useful information.
