So, if I understand you correctly, you don't have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf
file at all, and "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" refuses to generate
one? (Usually people have trouble with an existing customized xorg.conf
which dpkg-reconfigure refuses to update.)
Do you have the file /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum? Maybe that is
confusing the configuration script. (I think that a non-existing file
can never match any md5sum.)
What version of xserver-xorg are you using? Is it a fresh install or an
upgrade from an older Xorg/XFree86?
