[10:02] <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 ;)
[10:16] <jcristau> if you want to use an earlier release, run an earlier release?
[10:17] <zer0def> that's the thing, i don't want to run an earlier release of the distro, just an earlier xorg
[10:18] <zer0def> and that's only because amd aren't keen on keeping up with xorg devel
[10:20] <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
[10:21] <zer0def> except for the annoying fact stated above
[10:23] <tseliot> that doesn't mean it will work
[10:24] <zer0def> well, i have no other way of finding out, except attempting to run it on what it's capable of running.
[10:26] <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
[10:27] <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
