unstable, what should I use to optimise the display?

try dpkg-configure xserver-xfree86  That is assuming
that it downloaded when you upgraded.  Check to make
sure that you have it installed.

nope

dpkg: error processing xserver-xfree86 (--configure):
 package xserver-xfree86 is already installed and configured

I am looking for I think the debconf interface - like when you do a
fresh install

You can do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86.  It's also possible to 
let X configure itself: as root, run X -configure (assuming X4 is 
your default server).  This will generate an XF86Config-4 file in your
current directory.  Test it directly or move it over to /etc/X11/.
More in the manpage!

HTH,
Tim

dpkg-reconfigure (not dpkg --configure)
