  • How to downgrade xorg from 1.13 to 1.12

    In order to install Catalyst it is necessary to downgrade to xorg 1.12. I used this method https://ask.fedoraproject.org/questi...gacy-chipsets/ but it doesn't seem to work anymore. I get (~$command / ### error >>> my action):
    Code:
    ~$rpm -Uvh xorg-x11-server-*.fc17.src.rpm

    Then I tried the ZREPO script:

    This step:

    Code:
    sudo yum install $(rpm --eval %_topdir)/RPMS/x86_64/xorg-x11-server-devel-*.fc18.x86_64.rpm
    fails because you have a newer xorg-x11-server-devel installed. So instead, run:

    Code:
    sudo yum downgrade $(rpm --eval %_topdir)/RPMS/x86_64/xorg-x11-server-devel-*.fc18.x86_64.rpm
    Then continue the rest of the steps.

       You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

        Ahh...I hate yum. Try this:

        Code:
        sudo rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps xorg-x11-server* xorg-x11-drv*
        instead of

        Code:
        sudo yum downgrade xorg-x11-server* xorg-x11-drv*
        Fedora is introducing a new package manager, dnf, in Fedora 19 or Feodra 20. It better work better than yum.
