I have that file, its owned by me:me and is rw only for me. And contains: DVI-I-1= DefaultProfile= EnableICC=false HDMI-1= VGA-1=
No clue what could have sneezed and screwed it up, but there it is.
No clue of the effect of setting some of those options might be. And no manpage. So your guess is likely better than mine.
Oh, I just found one thing that has not been fixed, I have audio during boot until tdm starts after I log in. After login, I still have to do an "alsactl restoreRETURN" before I have any sound. Can this be fixed?
I use ALSA, and it starts when I boot up.
Have you messed with this toy? sudo sysv-rc-conf
That is not findable on this wheezy machine.
You should be able to get it by installing through apt:
sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf
Then I will send you a screenshot of my own run levels, or somebody else can do so; or you can do some research on how to set the run levels in sysv-rc-conf.
I seem to recall that you could make some of these changes through the Trinity Control Center, but sysv-rc-conf is much easier, so long as you are careful. A lot of things can slow down your machine, because they are configured to run at startup when you don't need them; while other things that you want, like your sound system, might be disabled.

It might be a good idea, and it may not. But the fact is that I have 5 machines here still running wheezy and one jessie, which wheezy is now officially EOL even for security stuff. Until the lcnc crew have made up a jessie or stretch installer, So the likelyhood of my playing with this is quite low.
The jessie install is quite stable, but I have a rock64 running stretch that while its 20x faster than a pi, has problems with the login screen that in 6+ months, has not been fixed, so there is no way I could honestly say stretch is stable. Reboots after an update are a try this and see if it works, then try that, each one taking a full 10 second powerdown to get it to even try to reboot.
Yup, I remember that hangup from running Debian with systemd. Once I changed to Devuan, it no longer hangs on reboot. However, changing over to Devuan is not necessarily smooth and easy - although some here would disagree. I think it all depends on what one already has installed.
Until you finally get the ducks in order and a successful login can be done. That same rock64 runs jessie perfectly from power restoration to the next power failure. That I'd call stable.
Be careful, if you haven't used that before; although I suspect that you know it. Don't make changes there unless you know what to do.
Also, look in Trinity Control Center / Sound & Multimedia / Sound System Both parts, General / Hardware ought to be examined.
On the whole, I agree with your approach, I think, which seems to be: take it slow, and don't mess with a working system. Even when my system is not running quite perfectly, it's still better than one that doesn't run at all, and time wasted with reinstallation.
Right now I have a lot of little glitches that keep building up, but I have a feeling that most are somehow related, as I've never had them before; and all are new since installing Devuan. So I mostly just keep trying to trace the source (or sources) of these issues, waiting until the inevitable reinstallation ... which could be another month or two.
