Hello, Sylvain. Could you please patch your current
/var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xorg.config with the attached patch and
run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg again? It should finally preserve old
values.
I fixed it while doing other X debugging and find it extremely annoying
(and
not the old behaviour). I do not see the point of resetting the values if the
string $XORG_FORCE_PROBE is empty, so I simply removed it.
Best regards,
Ender.
