Can someone please tell me what `dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86`

At the end of the procedure it talks about writing two new
configuration files. Where are these files? I'd assumed it was talking
about /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 but mine isn't changed in any way.
If you have previously edited /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 by hand then
`dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86` will not overwrite the XF86Config
file. In such a case, the instructions to make the file overwritable
through dpkg-reconfigure are provided inside the file.
So just open the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and read the first few lines of
comments.
The reason I ask is I'm having an absolute nightmare of a time trying
to get a X windows working on my laptop - a Dell Inspiron 8200 with
32MB nVidia GeForce2 Go graphics and a 1400x1050 pixel screen (which
seems to be the real kicker).
Have you checked
http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/dell.html
and in particular
http://jpstrand.homeip.net/user/delli8200/delli8200.html
where they explain how to get X working under Dell Inspiron 8200.
