I already tried selecting one of the Xservers (xserver-vga16 & xserver-svga). On xserver-vga16, I get in a loop saying that not all the configuration and default application files are installed. "The file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/Xinitrc is missing" This happens when is trying to create a Xf86Config file. On xserver-svga it doesn't have a Xf86Setup program included so I cann't configure the xserver. What else can I do, I tried different comabinations and I got the xserver kind of working, but the installation failed, and if I tried to install more X11 packages, it fails because it cannot install them until the xserver is installed successfully. This happens when I try to install xbase together with xserver-svga (That's the only way I can get the Xf86Setup to come) Xseerver-svga by itself doesn't have the confiuration program.
