-Template: xserver-xfree86/preconfigured
-Type: boolean
-Default: false
-Description: internal use only
- This template is never shown to the user and does not require translation.
- .
- Separately packaged XFree86 X server configuration tools should set this
- question to "true" to suppress efforts by the XFree86 X server packages to
- detect reasonable defaults for other templates.

-Template: xserver-xfree86/detection_clobbers_defaults
-Type: note
-_Description: Hardware detection overwrites configured defaults.
- You are reconfiguring this package; please note that if you answer
- affirmatively to questions about hardware detection for video hardware,
- mouse, and monitor, that the detected values (if any) will replace the
- default configured values.
- .
- This is unlike normal package reconfiguration, in which a package that is
- being reconfigured uses its currently configured parameters as defaults.
- .
- If you want to preserve your existing configuration as closely as possible,
- you should decline hardware detection.
