[Solved]x-server refuses to start with via

Hello,

after an update this morning my x-server wont start.
I am using the openchrome driver and xorg.conf contains via as driver.
The error is : ABI version is different from server version.

Is the only possibility to rollback the whole update?

just a guess. try with

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "IgnoreABI" "True"
EndSection

in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

or start with

startx -- -ignoreABI

thanks a lot. That did the trick. Another possibility is to use xf86-video-via but i do not know which one to prefer.
