Groovy. It zaps my XF86Config whenever it feels like not nagging me. I
feel special, for unknown reasons...
The "zapping" is extensively documented.
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
You don't suppose the same tool that auto-wrong-guesses the
configuration is the same one dpkg-reconfigure calls?
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.
