Which package may be damaged?

Hi,
I am sorry to bother you but I seem to have a rather rare problem. A
temporary hard disk failure must have damaged one or very few files on
/usr or /var. The result is that in Xorg
1. either the mouse pointer is displayed using a damaged pointer (a square
of greyish pixels) or not at all (the mouse continues to work fine if you
know where it is); this happens in XDM as well as after login (I use
fvwm2)
2. if Xorg is killed in any way (<Ctrl><Alt><Backspace>, kill, logout,
reboot), the display starts blinking and the operating system crashes
The hard disks have been checked and there are no errors. I have tried
apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg
but after reinstallation the error persists. Short of wiping the hard disk
and reinstalling the whole system, what can I do? Which files should I
restore from backups or which packages should be purged and reinstalled?
Hoping for any tips,
Axel Stammler
