Installing an older version of the library, something like that? No, Xserver 1.4 needs pixman 0.9.5 unfortunately. And there is no known fix yet (the upstream bug is not very active...). The debian bug severity has been increased so that people are notified of it before upgrading, that's not much from our side but it's better than nothing. We already got 4 people reporting it, so you don't have to be sorry for asking, this bug is very important :( Brice

I downgraded my X server, X video package and X input packages by taking them out of /var/cache/apt/archives and installing using dpkg -i. I would start by going dpkg -r libpixman-1-0 as that tells you which package to downgrade first. Then when X starts it also tells you which one has wrong version. I'm back working again in X because of this now.
