I have the same problem under Debian potato. Unfortunately after
running this command
# dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=dialog xserver-common
I get the error message:
debconf: package "xserver-common" is not installed or does not use
debconf
And I do not have /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config file.
Could you give me a hint what to do now? I am a newbie in Debian,
sorry...
Thanks in advance. -- Viktor
