[opensuse] openSuSE 10.3 - Downgrading xorg 7.3 to 7.2
For the list: Upgrading to xorg 7.3 fatally broke compiz on my Toshiba P35 laptop with the ATI mobility radeon 9700 card. After fighting the issue for over a month I decided to try and downgrade xorg. It wasn't as bad as I thought. For the record, here is how I did it safely: In yast remove repositories/xorg73/openSUSE_10.3. Then in software management, search "xorg". 7.2 will be listed as "available" and 7.3 will be listed as "installed". Simply select update (downgrade) on all xorg 7.3 packages and the xorg 7.2 packages will be installed in their place. Then run online update to pick up the updates to 7.2 and you are done. Now compiz works again! Hope this helps some other poor soul. Now maybe the xorg folks will fix the reason compiz won't work in 7.3 with my setup. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
