[Solved] installing old software - xorg with nvidia/ati

I've failed to get 2 systems working using gefore260/ati6870

I know I need to install older xorg-server but there are so many dependencies it's maddenning wasting so much time on this.

Can someone help me with approaching this correctly?

How to restore all packages to a specific date

To restore all packages to their version at a specific date, let's say 30 March 2014, you have to direct pacman to this date, by editing your /etc/pacman.conf and use the following server directive:

[core]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Server=https://archive.archlinux.org/repos/2014/03/30/$repo/os/$arch

[extra]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Server=https://archive.archlinux.org/repos/2014/03/30/$repo/os/$arch

[community]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Server=https://archive.archlinux.org/repos/2014/03/30/$repo/os/$arch
