Bug#337611: xserver-xorg: This may be related to a locally-modified xorg.conf



Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9
Followup-For: Bug #334340

Same problem here with a little addition. Not only is the message repeated 
3 times, also it _ends_ with postinst stating no updates were made.

If one can test if the config-file won't be updated should not the message 
be a warning which does not need any interactive response in the first
place?

It is the difference between a interactive and a non-interactive upgrade.
People who tweak their xorg.conf will be seearching the /var/log/Xorg.0.log
anyway if the system won't start again.

With regards,
Huub Reuver

The meesage I get 3 times:

------------------------

For the X Window System graphical user interface to operate correctly, it is 
necessary to select a video card driver for the X server.

Drivers are typically named for the video card or chipset manufacturer, or for 
specific model or family of chipsets.
