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 Regards, Alberto -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
