Hi Simo,

If you can connect your laptop using a UTP network cable, you should be able to get a working network connection by running the following command:

sudo dhclient eth0

With a little luck you'll then be able to apt-get xorg again. Good luck. Nowadays xorg on Ubuntu can start without any config file whatsoever so if you still can't get any graphical output something is surely out of order elsewhere.

A little safer than removing packages is using the --reinstall option, e.g.

sudo apt-get install --reinstall <package name>

Good luck!
