 Ok, I've tested it on my machine at work. It's an old AMD-500Mhz with 512Mb

 Happend here. After Alt+F1/Alt-2 I've got system ready to go. ;-)

 dpkg-reconfigure failed on me. It didn't change my /etc/X11/xorg.conf, 
nothing I've chosen during configuration, saved back. I had to do it from 
hand. After changing Video driver and keyboard layout I was able to run X.org 
without problems.

 I had to do it, too. There was only /dev/input/ts0 when I've booted.

 I wanted to do a screenshot, but Screenshot applet crashed. ;-)
