A simple walkthrough for sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg.
1. Well, the configuration starts with a screen that lists graphics card drivers. You do need to know this, but I will just demonstrate through my configuration. If you need to find out what you are using you can go to your computer manufacturer's website, or if you have another OS, could check it from there as well. I will go with nvidia.
Note to NVidia users: There are (probably) two drivers for you here; nv and nvidia. nvidia is the official linux driver, and works flawlessly as far as I can tell. nv is a user-developed driver, and it has presented me with problems when it comes to glx, so I would recommend against it unless you know that it's not the case for you or you know how to tweak to get it right. If you do, let me know.
If you don't have nvidia drivers in the list, you might want to get automatix2 installed (sudo apt-get install automatix2). It is an easy way to automate the installation of commonly used packages such as the nvidia drivers.
2. Coming soon...
