Re: [gentoo-user] Xorg 1.65
Bill, The xorg version is 1.7.6 (no r# to the best of my knowledge). When I do emerge it will re-emerge the 1.7.6 version and not the newer 1.8.2 version. The video card is VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01). I have not tried the mask suggested by other responders yet, but will soon. Thanks for the suggestions.

Re: [gentoo-user] Xorg 1.65
Its worth unmasking the required packages for intel cards - there have been some quite useful improvements in speed and stability - its one case where you are definitely better off on the bleeding edge for the intel driver, xorg-server and the kernel:) Anything less at the moment will leave you as you are now. There are also documents for setting up mode setting via google - setup isnt quite as easy as other cards at the moment.

Can anyone clue me in on how to emerge an older version of the program. I assume you are talking about the xorg-server? Mask your current version and do: emerge -u world (or possibly: emerge -Du world)? That's what I would do... or you could always be more explicit: emerge =xorg-server-1.65... Best regards Peter K
