I got KDM back up with x11-common=1:7.4+3ubuntu10. Details below.

Eli, I think it's related to this.

I have an Intel IGP. I managed to get the failsafe X11 up and running by changing the value for "Driver" from "vesa" to "intel" in the newly created /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe. I believe that xorg.conf.failsafe was created when x11-common=1:7.4+3ubuntu10 was installed. Previously, not even the (not quite) bulletproof failsafe mode would come up, nor any terminals. I had to use a live cd to do anything. Painful.

To get KDM back and running, I created a new xorg.conf file that contains only the following:

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Configured Video Device"
        Driver "intel"
EndSection
