If dselect or dpkg says your xserver isn't configured, you might try
running through "[C]onfigure" once or twice in dselect.

Because configuration is incomplete, this could mean either it's not
there, or you're not seeing it. You can always run the xserver post
install script in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ and confirm that the files in the
xserver list file, also in /var/run/dpkg/info/ exist. (There's no
sense running configure if the files aren't there, and I don't know
what kind of problem you encountered.)

Sometimes dselect is quirky and it takes a couple tries, I've found. If that
doesn't work, I'd remove my X-server, then confirm that no outstanding
conflicts or dependencies exist in dselect by running though installation in
dselect, and then run through installation again in dselect, choosing your
xserver.
I think that XF86Setup (nicer than xf86config), is only in the VGA xserver,
reason being that this is supposed to be a good default.
