will create new settings for Xserver.  You should be able to accept all

I recently had a very similar situation.  dpkg-reconfigure was the solution
for me as well.  If you're a stickler for detail,  like I am, you may want
to answer all of those prompts with the specific values your monitor uses.
You should be able to find them in the specifications section of your
monitor's manual, near the back.

If you've already run the command with the default values, that's okay.  You
can run dpkg-reconfigure as often as you want.  Just remember you'll have to
restart your X-server after you run it.
