Probably (read-edid), but autodetection is not performed if there are already answers to the corresponding questions in the debconf database. You're clearly annoyed at my efforts to keep newbies from having to edit XF86Config files themselves. There is a debconf question just for folks like you: Template: xserver-xfree86/manage_config_with_debconf Type: boolean Default: true Description: Manage XFree86 4.x server configuration file with debconf? The /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file, which contains the configuration information for the XFree86 version 4 X server, can be handled automatically by debconf, or manually by you. . Note that only specific, marked sections of the configuration file will be handled by debconf if you select this option; if those markers are absent, the configuration file will not be updated automatically, and you will have to update the file manually, or move or delete the file. -- G.
