You may need to check packages.keywords/unmask/mask to look for things added earlier. I had a ~x86 on the intel driver package which was causing the driver to go newer and this was forcing the xorg-server to go newer, etc. Make sure you don't have anything like that hanging about. Note that mythfrontend started segfaulting on an intel graphics machine when I went to the newer xorg. Unfortunately it did not stop segfaulting when I went back. I cannot explain this yet. - Mark
