Downgrading Xorg



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Last night while bored and reading this list I saw that many use the
unstable version of Xorg on testing systems, and so I decided to do this
as well.

Works fine, well in fact, except that if i try to resize a VM in
VirtualBox it mangles my display, both builtin and external (asus M6a
laptop) go spastic and keyboard dies, no amount of ctrl + alt (delete or
backsapce) can elicit a response, and acpi shutdown doesn't work.

For now i'm using my vm at low resolution, but is there a way to go back
to the lenny xorg? i'm thinking about forcing dpkg to remove all the
xserver-xorg* packages despite deps, and then just using apt to isntall
the testing ones, then apt-get check?

Good idea, bad idea, suicide?

This is my work machine so my usual tolerance for breaking stuff in the
persuit of knowledge is suspended.

Cheers
