I have a related problem. When I use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, everything apparently goes well, except the results of the reconfiguration never get written anywhere. There is no warning or error produced, but no xorg.conf file anywhere on the system. When I do startx after reconfiguring and examine the log file, it tells me no configuration file was found, and falls back to built-in defaults. I have read the man pages and much else, but cannot get a handle on this one. Any suggestions much appreciated.
Well, if you *are* using xorg for X (ls -l /etc/X11/x would show where the link is pointing) you can use the generic file from http://ccsh.us/xorg.conf.tgz If you are realy using x-server you dont need the xotg.conf file -- just run the dpkg--reconfigure xerver-xorg command then use Ctrl-AltF7 to switch to where the GUI is supposed to be then hit Ctrol-Backspace to restart the X-Server Works this weird way for me on FC5 and Debian Etch.
