[Tfug] downgrading Xorg

[erich]

Thanks for the info,
        This is not what I wanted to hear. My impression is that there 
is progenitor
institution in the Linux commnity such as  http://xorg.freedesktop.org/. 
It comes
out with versions of the "xorg-server" that get massaged by a given distro
organization with some semblance  of version number consistency. 
Unfortunately
this is not the case.  It's like "nailing jello to a wall" there is no 
consistency.
         The only thing that makes sense to me is the website:

             http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System#Release_history

And only the latest revisions start to make sense WRT Gentoo.

                                                                    Erich
