I have a related problem. When I use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg,
everything apparently goes well, except the results of the
reconfiguration never get written anywhere. There is no warning or error
produced, but no xorg.conf file anywhere on the system. When I do startx
after reconfiguring and examine the log file, it tells me no
configuration file was found, and falls back to built-in defaults.
I have read the man pages and much else, but cannot get a handle on this
one. Any suggestions much appreciated.
Well, if you *are* using xorg for X (ls -l /etc/X11/x would show where
the link is pointing) you can use the generic file from
http://ccsh.us/xorg.conf.tgz
If you are realy using x-server you dont need the xotg.conf file --
just run the dpkg--reconfigure xerver-xorg command then use Ctrl-AltF7
to switch to where the GUI is supposed to be then hit Ctrol-Backspace
to restart the X-Server
Works this weird way for me on FC5 and Debian Etch.
