[Bug 616306] [NEW] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg tip is unnecessary

 

Public bug reported:

On page 135 of lucid-e2-r158.pdf downloaded from
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/382986/ubuntu-manual/UbuntuManual.html -
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/382986/ubuntu-manual/lucid-e2-r158.pdf .

There is a section on fixing the problem of booting to blank screen by
issuing the "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" command. It is often
suggested to run this to 'fix' the xorg.conf, but in fact for some time
now this command doesn't touch xorg.conf. So it's completely pointless
running it.
