56 Well, add to /etc/portage/package.mask
57 ">x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.1.1" and then emerge
58 x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel. Of course you need to update (downgrade)
59 your xorg-server to 1.3.0.0-r6 (same operations:mask every version which
60 later than 1.3.0.0-r6 ">x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r6") and don't
61 forget that you can't using evdev afaik with this xorg but
62 x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard and x11-drivers/xf86-input-mice will
63 replace it. And configure your xorg.conf
64
65 For swithcing back just erase strings that you add to package.mask and
66 then reemerge packets. Don't forget that xorg-1.5* and 1.3* are
67 different. Read upgrade guide.
