I tried "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg", and all it did was change the file for me, without a menu or any kind of user interaction, delete all the Display entries except the 24-bit color entry, and set the default to 1600x1200.
Did you just do the reconfig, or did you drop in the -p high flag? That result sounds like you used the flag, which I mentioned was very automatic. I've just done the command (without the flag) on my 7.10 system and got the same text interface I've had in the previous versions.
Perhaps this is yet another Ubuntu 7.10 bug, as printing has stopped working after the "upgrade". Yes, I reinstalled the printer, twice now. It isn't the printer either, as the machine is dual-boot and Windows prints just fine on the same printer attached to the same computer. After upgrading to 7.10 there is the additional problem that, most of the time, Nautilus crashes when it enters a directory containing video files.
I don't have a printer or video files on my 7.10 system, so no comment. :) I also don't think there's a rollback: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/15631 But you can try: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DowngradeHowto as linked to from that first link.
