For blind people it doesn't matter whether xconfig works or not but for sighted people if that doesn't work they may as well install slackware. For a quick way through xconfig and this may not be optimal but usually works try: xconfig --kickstart <cr> in a kickstart script. I end up using that since the xconfig screen interface makes me want to hurl whenever the program starts up interactively and I can get xconfig to work well enough that a sighted friend can also use the computer to help fix things up or figure things out I've been unable to do.
