Where can I find the entire group of xorg packages older version?

My video card, the matrox g450 hasn't been working with newer versions of xorg. I know it worked back in October when I used it.

I see http://arm.nrk.cc but there are currently 65 packages within xorg. Is there some place that would just have a folder of just those ~65 packages and I could just tell it to download every package, and then install each package, instead of manually going through each package downloading what I need?

Thanks.

The oldest you can get (without some user actively creating a repo for you) is by looking at http://users.archlinux.de/~gerbra/mirrorcheck.html finding a mirror that hasn't synced in a while, use that in your mirrorlist, then sync and 'update'.

Try this: http://arm.nrk.cc/. It mirrors back until 2008/10.

That's pretty nice, you should add it to the wiki about downgrading packages.

It's already there - 'arm' is an acronym for 'Arch Rollback Machine', which is covered in the fifth paragraph.
