Bug#380061: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't update /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.22
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Hi
Reconfiguring xserver-xorg doesn't change /etc/X11/xorg.conf at all because of
an obvious error in the postinst script. Please find a patch attached (and
hopefully you agree on it ;-) which fixes the bug.
