Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.20
Severity: important
xserver-xorg persists in using the wrong old XFree86 debconf values.
I have removed all XFree86 config files, even the backups, have
reinstalled the xserver-xorg package, removed the xorg.conf file and
have reconfigured the package. Nothing helps, xserver-xorg always
creates an xorg.conf file with the old, wrong XFree86 settings.

# ll /usr/bin/Xorg

And the xorg.conf file still contains the settings for my old Radeon card
although the debconf database has the correct values for the current card
(Asus N6200, see below).
I've done this circle multiple times with some variations, all without
success.
Regards,
Uwe
