Perhaps you're running into this (from /etc/X11/XF86Config-4):
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically
# updated again, run the following commands as root:
#
# cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.custom
# md5sum /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 >/var/lib/xfree86/XF86Config-4.md5sum
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
dpkg-reconfigure isn't willing to overwrite an XF86Config-4 that it
doesn't think it previously wrote. The above tricks it into thinking
it wrote it, even if you have hand-edited it in the past.
