On sarge, look in /etc/X11/XF86Config to see what tool was used to generate it. I have a wierd setup so I needed to run xf86config-v3 so I can't advise you there. Likely its just dpkg-reconfigure of whatever package it is that's supposed to manage that file. In any event, please do not reinstall from scratch. This _is_ Debian.
