It looks like dexconf has not been updated to handle this change:
* Don't bother with resolutions in xorg.conf
We now rely on the server and drivers to do the right thing. Previously,
our best-case scenario was to have the xserver-xorg postinstall script ask
the monitor what the optimal values were, and if that wasn't possible to
give the user a default list of resolutions and a best-guess hsync and
vrefresh values that the user could override. The server and almost all
drivers will do this on boot anyway using properly maintained code, which
allows them to better adapt to changes. randr 1.2-compliant drivers will
do this even better than we possibly could. Finally, the server will
provide a better list of defaults than we were doing anyway. There will
undoubtedly be bugs uncovered by this change, but we need to find and fix
the actual bugs in the drivers and server in order to move forward.
