You are not meant to run dexconf directly. Use 'dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xorg' instead. That preserves your config if there are hand-
written rules.

dexconf overwrites xorg.conf without warning or backup
A tangential issue: I added a new card to my system, and the old
xorg.conf was blown away without the system prompting me. At least the
new xorg.conf got X up and running, but it was broken (no xinerama,
cloned X view across the monitors).

Maybe it should be long fixed. But at least it is not fixed in edgy.

This should be fixed long ago (although post-dapper, I think). The fix
is too complicated to be backported for dapper, though.

Been three months. Has there been an update? Also, given the nature of
the bug, if this is fixed, will the fix be backported to Dapper?
