debian packages

[Jude DaShiell]

Having done some reading over on debian-user I found out what's happening 
here is bug 444003 and debian has that up on the serious level.  It's 
being worked.  The file /etc/X11/xorg.conf is an empty file the only thing 
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg can do is back it up and make more empty 
files.  I can delete it though. How to get X set up and operational 
without it I don't yet know.  Suggestions much appreciated.
