AH> What is the best method for replacing Xfree86 4.2 on my Mandrake AH> 9.0 install with the older Xfree86 3.3 (that works with my AH> laptop)?
What hardware does your laptop have? Have you tried using the ``vesa'' driver with the ``shadowfb'' option? If that doesn't work, try Xvesa with the -shadowfb option. If Mandrake don't ship Xvesa, file a bug report with them. While XFree86 3.3 might work, you'd be missing out on TrueType font support, the RENDER extension and a lot of other improvements. While I'm not familiar with Mandrake, using 3.3 should simply require putting the XSVGA binary somewhere and linking /usr/X11R6/bin/X to it. You may need to disable authorisation in your desktop manager's config file.
