Bug#458076: Installing on fresh sid install ends up with empty xorg.conf
Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.3+8
Severity: important
On my new workstation (clean sid install made with debootstrap), after
xorg installation my /etc/X11/xorg.conf was empty.
I've tried both dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and dexconf, but they
give up with error code 10 without creating a configuration.
The error seem to be a missing debconf value.
shattrath:/home/mnencia# DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer dexconf -o /tmp/xorg.conf ;
echo $?
