Hello, Sylvain. Could you please patch your current
/var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xorg.config with the attached patch and
run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg again? It should finally preserve old
values.
I fixed it while doing other X debugging and find it extremely annoying
(and
not the old behaviour). I do not see the point of resetting the values if the
string $XORG_FORCE_PROBE is empty, so I simply removed it.
Best regards,
Ender.

Bug#318634: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg forget all the previous value
Package: xserver-xorg Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-2 Severity: normal Hello, First of all, i would like to thank you for the great work done from XFree86 to X.org. When i try to reconfigure X.org i use the standard "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" command line. All the values are taken into account and written in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (and a backup file is created). BUT if i do it again, all the values i have set are forgotten... That is a little bit annoying -- especially when you are trying new configurations ;-) The value reported by "debconf-show xserver-xorg" are the good ones (see below), but it seems that they are overwritten at the beginning of the xserver-xorg.config... (i don't know where).
