How I got the Hardy xorg running on Intrepid: 1. Move /etc/apt/sources.list => intrepid.list & create a hardy list mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intrepid.list cp /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intrepid.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hardy.list Then open up your favorite editor and edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hardy.list to preference (I just replace every instance of 'intrepid' with 'hardy')
2. Create /etc/apt/preferences (eg. nano /etc/apt/preferences) File should contain: Package: xserver-xorg-core Pin: release a=hardy Pin-Priority: 999 3. Remove xorg* (haven't found a way to do a 100% working direct downgrade) 4. run apt-get update to fetch both hardy and intrepid package lists 5. Reinstall xorg & ubuntu-desktop Alternatively, when doing a fresh install I'd start with a minimal server install and just add the desktop kernel & gui after setting the pin. -- fglrx fails to compile with 2.6.27-2 kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/266956 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
