I remember seeing this behaviour once with xfree86 4.2 in sid. I think
it bails out from updating the XF86Config-4 if it has been modified by
hand. I ended up removing and reinstalling it to make the new settings
stick.

apt-get remove --purge xserver-xfree86
apt-get install xserver-xfree86

Be warned, none of your previous settings will be remembered.

HTH,

Nick.
