Is Xorg -configure meant to still work?
I'm running sid, and trying to debug a problem after updating today to the Xorg 2:1.12.1-2 packages. There's no xorg.conf file on the system in question, only a /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d with some stock files (evdev, synaptics, wacom (I don't have any of that hardware)). So I thought I'd make an xorg.conf and see if I could tweak the system into shape. I followed the instructions at http://wiki.debian.org/Xorg which are be in a text console, stop the X server, run Xorg -configure. Did those (and double-checked that X was in fact not running at the time), and got a segfault. The log is pasted below if it matters. The last time I had to do anything with an X11 config file by hand was back when it was still called XFree86 and I was running Slackware. So I don't know whether we're supposed to be using Xorg -configure like that, or if there's some other tool we're meant to run instead. I just followed the Debian wiki. :-) What's the official blessed tool to generate an xorg.conf as a starting point?

You didn't tell us what your issue is. Basically, you may want to upgrade from 3.1 to latest 3.2 in unstable, as a first step. Mraw, KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
