Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.22
Severity: important
File: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure
On new install of Lenny weekly build 27-May-2008 cannot start KDM because xorg.conf is not set
correctly.
I replaced /etc/X11/xorg.conf with one copied from Etch installed on identical machine and rebooted.
KDM started fine.
This is the xorg.conf that was installed by Lenny. It doesn't work.

This is the xorg.conf that was created by Etch. When copied to Lenny it works.
