I am having a hard time trying to understand the problem here. Are you
saying that the XF86Config-4 that's generated by dpkg-reconfigure does
not contain enough comments so that the user may modify it later by hand?
Or are you complaining about a wrong config being generated?
Also, I don't see how this is related to the fact that the file is not
maintained by dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86.
Do you still have problems with Xorg/Etch? Unless there is actually a
problem here, I will close this bug in the next weeks.
Brice.
