If you don t have an existing /etc/X11/XF86Config* file it does probe the
hardware.
The tool is still unable to do most choice though works is on the way :
- lots of fix are expected for 4.3.0-dfsg.1.9
http://necrotic.deadbeast.net/xsf/XFree86/trunk/debian/TODO
- ubuntu (fully automated for one card install ) does it pretty well
through hacks sometimes. We can expect some improvments will be included
in debian.
At first you could try renaming your old X config, taking care that most
package suggested by xserver-xfree86 are installed:
- mdetect for mouse
- read-edid for monitor frequency autodetection
- discover for video card detection
It did autodetected my stuff after i did an X purge (i was going from
unoffical packages back to the debian ones). Though i expect moving
the config will be enough.
Cheers
