/etc/X11/xorg was modified when I tried it, too, but I got another
error message.

I too did
    dexconf -o /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and then
    dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
And I was still informed
    xserver-xorg postinst warning: not updating /etc/X11/X: file has been modified.

ls told me:
hendrik@lovesong:~$ ls -l /etc/X11/X
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2006-07-02 12:42 /etc/X11/X -> /usr/bin/Xorg
hendrik@lovesong:~$

and /usr/bin/sorg is a directory.

Why would it want to modify a directory, anyway?
