Hi
After having the xorg problem I downgrade the X in this way.
1_ Add the next debian snapshot repository to the sources.list: deb
http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20110924/ wheezy main
contrib non-free
2_ Update the repositories, I got the next error: Release file for
http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20110924/dists/wheezy/InRelease
is expired
To avoid it, I had to update the repositories with this
command: aptitude -o 'Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false' update
3_ Downgrade xserver-xorg-core telling the version: aptitude install
xserver-xorg-core=2:1.10.4-1. Aptitude will complaint because some
xserver-xorg-input and video will be broken. Tell aptitude to fix the
situation, after some fix proposals you will arrive to a proposal
where Aptitude will downgrade all the dependencies, accept it.
4_ Lock the downgrade, in my case: aptitude hold xserver-xorg-core
xserver-xorg-input-evdev xserver-xorg-input-mouse
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics xserver-xorg-input-wacom
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau xserver-xorg-video-vesa
xserver-xorg-video-vmware

Alberto
