How does one downgrade X? My X does not work at all after the update from rawhide today.
I am using NVIDIA hardware

The symptoms seem to be the same regarding the i810 card. You still get
X killed when ctl-alt-Fn to a terminal while X has focus. This is at
1024x768 at 24 depth and DRI is enabled.
1400x1050 works good at 24 depth for me, no DRI. I dare not drop to 16
depth yet at higher resolutions that disable dri.
No need to drop back on X for this yet for the 815 card, unless you
could not work around prior problems with the last release candidate.
With another graphics card installed and trying out s-c-display, I could
not get the radeon and dual-head to configure. Also, with the two cards
installed (internal 815 and Radeon 7200 PCI) I could not get the 815 to
go to resolutions above 800x600. Is this a normal side-effect of having
multiple video cards installed? Or was the higher resolution cut back
for the 815 card?
To change resolutions w/ both cards installed, I have to replace
xorg.conf w/ previously configuration files for higher resolutions.
