duh!

My x freezes on start after I installed etch and I want to use
xf86config to reconfigure it. What happened to that utlitlty? I cannot
work out what package its in.

Also, in the debian reference manual, at
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tune.en.html#s-xsrvr, it
refers to xserver-common-v3 (I think I need this as I have an old matrox
card)- I can find no such package in etch - is the ref manual out of
date or something? Surely not?

Looks like it is out of date. Try running :
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
