Debian Packages Archive (Downgrading to a past version of a package)

2006-10-05 Thread Ibrahim Mubarak
Hi, I am having some trouble with my fonts since a recent update (aptitude upgrade) of my debian sid system. It's all in bug # 390681. I am trying to get my hands on xserver-xorg-core version 2:1.1.1-8 (latest is 2:1.1.1-9) as I don't keep old packages. I stumbled upon a website or ftp server

Hi, After upgrading to X.Org and kernel 2.6.12 today, when I create a soft symlink in /dev called mouse pointing to psaux, the next time I boot, it will no longer be there. Tried it quite a few times. I can't explain it. Can you? I am a little uncomfortable putting /dev/psaux instead of /dev/mouse
