klipp Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Because of an apparant inconpatibility, I need to uninstall xorg 6.9.0 and replace it with 6.7 (or 8).0. I'm using Mandriva 2006. Is there an easy way to accomplish this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 No. Factly it's next to impossible, unless you are willing to rebuild a few hundred RPM's from source yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 If you've got an urpmi repository available with the RPMs you want, then try changing your xorg.conf to use the "vesa" driver instead of whatever driver it is you're now using, then install and use "smart" instead of "urpmi"; smart alows downgrading, while urpmi does not.

ffi Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 (edited) Nah, every single package is linked to xorg, you would have to downgrade just about everything, I just found out the hard way, when upgrading kde in cooker recently also got me a broken xorg 7.0; there´s one thing if you have thac and ze s version of xorg installed you might be able to downgrade these to mandrivas xorg. https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtop...=downgrade+xorg Edited May 30, 2006 by ffi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
