There's no repo, but you can get old versions from the Arch Rollback Machine (obviously expect no support): http://seblu.net/a/arm/packages/l/linux/ Then just install with pacman -U -- Oliver Temlin

You probably have the linux-3.14 package /var/cache/pacman/pkg see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrading_packages Quoting Daniel Petre (2014-07-07 10:21:40) On 07/07/14 07:25, Achilleas Pipinellis wrote: On 07/06/2014 09:17 PM, Daniel Petre wrote: Hey there, i just installed Arch on a x61s thinkpad using xf86-video-intel of course but it seems Cinnamon starts and gives a black unresponsive screen while booting and trying on linux-lts works absolutely fine..

For the time being, I'm maintaining a custom 3.14 kernel for myself. It's nothing fancy. It's just the default x86_64 options, except it builds Linux 3.14.10. (Right now, it's x86_64 only because I do not run Arch on an older 32-bit only chip.) Feel free to build it if you want: https://github.com/KlipperKyle/linux-custom Kernel 3.14.11 is coming as soon as I have the chance to update the PKGBUILD. --Kyle signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Like twm, for instance? don't know twm but i3 seems to work, also cinnamon works now, maybe it was just a one time situation, at first run or something, seems to work now.. thanks for responding Savy.
