Package: xserver-xorg Version: 1:7.0.14 Severity: minor My old xorg.conf contained this: # If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated # again, run the following commands as root: # # cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.custom # md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf > /var/lib/xfree86/xorg.conf.md5sum # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg But the new one contains this: # If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated # again, run the following command: # sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg Firstly, unlike Ubuntu, Debian cannot assume users use sudo to get root privileges, many will use su or simply login as root. Secondly that command doesn't seem to work: chianamo:~# dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg xserver-xorg postinst warning: not updating /etc/X11/xorg.conf; file has been customized I'm not sure what is correct, but please update that information. I assume the md5sum file (or another one) is still used. Also, the information in xorg.conf about the xorg.conf manual page is incorrect, "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" just loads the config file into man. The old config file specified "man xorg.conf", but there doesn't seem to be a manual page for xorg.conf in the xorg7 packages. -- System Information: Debian Release: unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xserver-xorg depends on: ii debconf 1.4.72 Debian configuration management sy ii x11-common 1:7.0.14 X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc ii xbase-clients 1:7.0.0-4 miscellaneous X clients ii xkb-data 0.8-5 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu ii xserver-xorg-core 1:1.0.2-5 X.Org X server -- core server ii xserver-xorg-input-evdev [xs 1:1.0.0.5-2 X.Org X server -- evdev input driv ii xserver-xorg-input-joystick 1:1.0.0.5-2 X.Org X server -- joystick input d ii xserver-xorg-input-kbd [xser 1:1.0.1.3-2 X.Org X server -- keyboard input d ii xserver-xorg-input-mouse [xs 1:1.0.4-2 X.Org X server -- mouse input driv ii xserver-xorg-video-dummy [xs 1:0.1.0.5-2 X.Org X server -- dummy display dr ii xserver-xorg-video-fbdev [xs 1:0.1.0.5-2 X.Org X server -- fbdev display dr ii xserver-xorg-video-nv [xserv 1:1.0.1.5-2 X.Org X server -- NV display drive ii xserver-xorg-video-vesa [xse 1:1.0.1.3-2 X.Org X server -- VESA display dri ii xserver-xorg-video-vga [xser 1:4.0.0.5-2 X.Org X server -- VGA display driv Versions of packages xserver-xorg recommends: ii discover1 1.7.18 hardware identification system ii laptop-detect 0.12.1 attempt to detect a laptop ii mdetect 0.5.2.1 mouse device autodetection tool ii xresprobe 0.4.23debian1 X Resolution Probe -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
