It's supposed to be automagic now, built into xorg
itself.

If that doesn't work, "Xorg -configure"
should give you a starting point
for xorg.conf. Further customizing has to be done with
your favorite
text editor.

I'm trying to resolve a specific issue that appeared after upgrade from etch to lenny, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=515840.

In etch the video card was configured using dpkg-reconfigure and it was working marvelously. In lenny it's all screwed up and dpkg-reconfigure no longer allows to reconfigure the video card. It's simply not clear for what needs to be customized to get it working.

Thanks
