that is already
newest.
I am not sure why dexter was removed, the new system should have the
same functionality, so you can think of it more like a rename.

It did, but it's corrupt. There's a "--configure" option to dpkg, but then
it complains that it's already installed and configured.
Dexter was remvoed why?

you need to reconfigure the package, I am not sure which one, probably
xserver-xfree86, and I am not sure how exactly but check the docs for
apt-get and dpkg, you need to run one of them using --config or
something like that.
I think it should create XF86Config-4 by default, at least dexter

I'm trying to reconfigure X on my laptop as I put in a bad value durring
last upgrade. I go to run "dexter" and it can't find it. I do a
"dpkg -L xserver-common" and it doesn't show dexter in there anymore.
Has it been moved? I checked the packages list on
dexter appears to hold the record for the shortest-lived debian utility.

debconf questions instead; the "dexconf" tool is a backend that generates
XF86Conf
I just did an apt-get upgrade on my woody machine and now dexter seems
to have dissapeared from the xutils package. Has it moved to another
package or is this a mistake by the packager?

Problem solved! I found in the old 3.3.6 XFree86 FAQ a reference to a program
called SuperProbe which told me my video chipset is a Cirrus 5464 which is one
of the options on the dexter configurator.

Try adding
Option "NoAccel"
to the graphics device section
ng the realy new
xserver, otherwise still 3.3.6 is fired up. You then should make the
XFree86 server the default when it ask for, or edit the file
/etc/X11/Xserver...

refresh rate of 31.5-48.5, and vertical refresh rate 50-100.
(I'm running Debian 2.2). This was working fine until I did an
"apt-get dist-upgrade" and inadvertently upgraded to XFree86 4.0.1 and
now X doesn't work.
I ran the dexter utility and selected my keyboard and mouse.

Hi again,
Ok, I found the dexter utility and tried to run it. I got an error
message saying something about "this program requires dialog". Can
some kind soul tell me how to fix this?
Also, I was talking to a friend of mine who already has XFree 4
running. He mentioned that th
Thanks to everyone who replied. I did a 'find / -name dexter' on my
hard drive and it didn't find anything, which I thought was very
strange. I thought the upgrade would have downloaded all the necessary
packages for X, but apparently not. I'll try all the suggestions and
