Probably one should be enough. Okay. I'm pondering how to fix this. I might need to do something like check for the existence of /var/run/xserver-xfree86_config_nag anytime I want to spew this to the user, spew and touch it if it doesn't exist, and remove the file at the end of the postinst. I'm not sure how else to track state across the upgrade process.

I think I fixed this in r1858: Update logic in configure_monitor() to actually use information collected from read-edid utilities, add comments, and trace the function's operation. Thanks to Jay Berkenbilt for his analysis. (Closes: #229850) > mode-list templates is asked after unpacking.. weird.. it should still be > part of config. This might be resolved by r1858, and even if not, there's more tracing going on, so if this happens again, let's look at the config log and try to puzzle out why this happens. > Also the new comments in this template are ok, but they make the text too > long.

Only at the second time it will exit properly. Hrm. If you can reproduce this post-r1858, let me have a look at the config log. > This behaviour is reproducible constantly so it should be pretty simple to > debug. Yeah, hence my desire for the config log. > PS of course i will try to debug all the problems.. but this is more FYI > :-) Thanks a lot for the feedback! -- G.
