Bug#616010: Use of debconf database disabled for newer Xorg (>= 1:7.4)
Thank you for your answer.
I was analyzing the bug report communicated a little bit more in
detail, and I think that the bug report could be deleted.
The key details are in the file xserver-xorg.postinst (placed in
directory /var/lib/dpkg/info) in the lines 722 to 728 and the line
734: The use of debconf database is disbled for newer Xorg (>= 1:7.4)
and, consequently, the xorg.conf file will be not generated.
I just want to add that although under certain circunstances the
system works fine with an emtpy xorg.conf file, this is a fact very
dependent on the hardware.
In my job I need to work with very obsolete monitors and graphic
cards, and the xorg.conf file is necessary in order to introduce
tweaks to avoid misfunctions of video in obsolete hardware.
Therefore, a program like dexconf could be added to a wish list.
However, the bug report could be supressed, at criteria of the
package's maintainer.
Regards,
Fernando
