They point release media installs a backport of the graphics stack from newer releases so they work on newer devices (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server-lts-vivid being used in 14.04.3), to go back to the 14.04.1 version just install xserver- xorg-lts-trusty or use 14.04.1 install media. It's safe to update after using the 14.04.1 media as it wont automatically upgrade the graphics stack.

However on a brand new installation of 14.04.03, it is reported to be 1.17.1 This is an issue for us because for some reason we have to run Ubuntu on a 4.3.8 VirtualBox VM and this version supports Xorg up to 1.15 Do I miss understand lauchpad? Is it not up-to-date? Is there a way to install 1.15.1 afterwards? thanks in advance To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1484045/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
