| zer0def | let's try here: would there be a way to revert xorg to 1.13 in trusty for the purpose of running fglrx-legacy? tried looking for ppas, but so far, no results; before i simply go and start pulling down packages from previous releases, i would prefer to be sure i won't stumble on something laughably easy and break my xserver ;) | 10:02 |
|---|---|---|
| jcristau | if you want to use an earlier release, run an earlier release? | 10:16 |
| zer0def | that's the thing, i don't want to run an earlier release of the distro, just an earlier xorg | 10:17 |
| zer0def | and that's only because amd aren't keen on keeping up with xorg devel | 10:18 |
| tseliot | even if you manage to run an old X without breaking the rest of the system, are you sure the module will build against Trusty's kernel? | 10:20 |
| zer0def | yes, amd's installer provides packages for trusty | 10:20 |
| zer0def | and it DID build | 10:20 |
| zer0def | except for the annoying fact stated above | 10:21 |
| tseliot | that doesn't mean it will work | 10:23 |
| zer0def | well, i have no other way of finding out, except attempting to run it on what it's capable of running. | 10:24 |
| tseliot | you'll have to get around the reverse dependencies: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7321327/ | 10:26 |
| tseliot | it's not something I would recommend | 10:26 |
| tseliot | doesn't the open driver work for you? | 10:27 |
| zer0def | it does, just not quite the way i want it to ;) | 10:27 |
| zer0def | yeah, most of those depends i'd probably fill just fine | 10:27 |
