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
