Revert to xorg-server 1.6.99 from 1.7.7

CollieJim · 02-02-2011, 10:57 PM

My netbook has Intel 945GME video, and I would like to use Intel's IEGD to get best performance.

The problem is that I have xorg-server-1.7.7 installed and the latest IEGD (10.3) I can find stops support at xorg-server-1.6.*

If I remove 1.7.7 and install 1.6.99, what else do I need to change?
What is the latest 1.6 version available for gentoo?
I assume I would have to rebuild x11-drivers/*.

TIA
Jim

There is no xorg-server < 1.7.6 in the portage tree.

You would need to create a local overlay with an old ebuild.

Thanks. I didn't think it would be simple.

Perhaps I will get a 1.6.99 tarball from xorg.
