Something to add to this:
You can change the level of questions that the reconfigure process asks.
run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure debconf"

You can set the importance level to "low", where it will ask you about
every detail when you (re)configure anything in the future (xorg?). I
believe the default is "high", which causes dpkg to ask you only
high-importance questions.

If you set it to "low" importance, when you reconfigure xorg, it'll
ask you some more specific questions, which may or may not help you
solve your problem.
