For me, that means I'm going to continue using the debconfized X config the way I already do: Make an initial XF86Config-4, and then edit it by hand. Actually, that's OK for me, altough it would be nice to get not only a usable configuration, but the correct/final one. As XFree86 grows its built-in mode pool I'll likely be adding options to the choices in the debconf interface. -- G.

That is beyond the intended scope of the X server debconf support. Quoting dexconf(8): It is also important to note that dexconf, and the corresponding deb- conf questions whose answers it retrieves, are not intended to replace a full-featured X server configuration tool; that is the province of xf86cfg(1), currently under development by the XFree86 Project, Inc. In the meantime, however, users inexperienced with the syntax of the XF86Config (or XF86Config-4) file may use dexconf to generate the X server configuration file with a minimal amount of detailed knowledge of their hardware characteristics. The purpose of this config tool is to get a usable single-head configuration going for people who know nothing of the X Window System or XFree86. -- G.
