Hi,

probably the rename "driver" > "video" in Xorg caused this. If this is
so, the dependancies between the xserver packages are incorrect.

Dapper had "xserver-xorg-driver-i810" and this was removed post-install,
after upgrading, because they were "no longer supported". I thought,
well, they will have a reason for that, so I let it remove the packages.
Thus I ended up with a broken Xorg setup.

Installing xserver-xorg-video-i810 worked for me, but was a lot of
manual work since my notebook only has wireless networking, enabled by
the NetworkManager applet, which - of course - wasn't running without a
desktop. So I had to find a USB stick, find the file manually on the
net, copy it over and then use "dpkg -i ...".

Please mark this bug as critical and provide an upgraded package so that
at least updating online will not break any more.

Thanks!

Jens
