This only works, if he hasn't changed XF86Config-4 manually!!!
If you have changed this config file (this is absolutly allowed
in Debian!), you will find a comment at the beginning of
this file, how you can reset this, so you can again use
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86. (BTW: It then asks you
the same questions, as it did, when you have had installed
Debian)
