dpkg-reconfigure x-window-system didn't do anything obvious. Reading
the man page I suspect the window system isn't one that's configured
by dpkg.
If you are configuring something like monitor settings, I believe the
package that actually has the settings is the X server itself. For
sarge, xserver-xfree86. x-window-system is a dependency package, if i
recall correctly, that gets a bunch of other packages installed to make
it easier to set up an X system.
I'm taking this all from memory right now, becase I don't have an X
enabled system handy (I'm on windows at work at the moment).
