It looks like the fact it works is a bug in xserver-xfree86 setup scripts !-)
Take care it may be fixed soon !
the setup scripts check if you modified the config file by hand. If you
did it does not apply the change (a bug is reported to make it warn the
user that the changes will not be applied, but it already tell it at the
end of the process, on the console ).
All this is explained in xserver-xfree86 doc in
/usr/share/doc/xserver-xfree86 .
It seems by using it many times you managed to breaks this overwrite
control and make the setup program overwrite teh config file ...
Lucky you :)
