Hello!

Is it possible to replace the latest xorg with
the previous version? How?

Thanks, Roman

Suppose, it's very difficult. It's Xorg, "resistance is futile" (devil had/has that in his sig.).

What's wrong with 7.1.1?

doknir:
If you really want to go down that road then probably installing Kanotix Easter is the right decision. I don't had this version installed, but probably the Xorg version there is 6.9 or 7.0

Hello!

I was thinking about that. The Xorg included in Easter is 7.0.12

xorg 6.9 is not possible, xorg 7.0 dont make much sense.
what is wrong with 7.1x?

S3 driver is not working with xorg 7.1.*. I have to use (slower) vesa
driver in 2006-01-RC4. I use Kanotix inside Virtual PC:
http://www.kanotix.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-21255.html

BTW, I've reinstalled Easter Edition and it is working OK with S3 driver. Then I've updated s3 driver with:

Code:

apt-get update

apt-get install xserver-org-video-s3

(as a consequnce all of xorg get updated to 7.1.0-6) and Kanotix stopped working (blank screen at loading KDE).

Do you have any idea how to make 7.1.* working again? Is it possible
to use older(*) s3 driver with the latest xorg? How?

Thanks, Roman

(*) For example maybe the latest version before 0.4.*. This is 0.3.5.4-3

Try running h2's update-scripts, they can probably solve the problems after the Xorg-Update. If this doesn't helps or you can again only use Vesa then it's probably better to stick to the Kanotix Easter without changes to the X system.

Hello!

I've solved the problem by uncommenting the following line in xorg.conf:

Code:

Option "NoAccel"

BTW, is it possible to start Kanotix Live CD with option "NoAccel"?

Thanks, Roman
