Configuration files for X are a little bit tricky under Debian. The stardard XFree86 distribution is capable of reading your configuration from many different locations (/etc/X11/XF86Config-4, /etc/X11/XF86Config, /etc/XF86Config, etc.) Once it finds a config file under one of those names, it will use that one and ignore the rest. Debian allows you to have both X3 and X4 installed on a system at the same time, so your X4 configuration file should always be named "/etc/X11/XF86Config-4" in order to differentiate it from the X3 config file. I believe that "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" will always write to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, but last time I checked, xf86config writes to /etc/X11/XF86Config (without the "-4" at the end). If you use the xf86config tool make sure that you move the XF86Config file to XF86Config-4 (or make a symbolic link between the two) so that X won't continue using your old configuration. I realize that I probably didn't explain this all that well, but you can find more information in the XF86Config(7) manpage.
