Hello everyone!
Due to my work, I have to use an old version of xorg-server wich supports x shared pixmaps. As I was told, I should use a version 1.5.x.
I am wondering, is there a way to install that particular version of x-server in my archlinux system (2010.05, i686)?
I tried to download a tar and compile it, but it gives me an error in /usr/include/X11/extensions/panoramiXext.h include file. I guess, I cannot compile an old x-server with fresh headers, am I right?
Thanks in advance!

You need a bunch of other apps, apart from xorg-server.
I have version 1.6 for 32-bit. Have you already tried it?

Thanks for your reply, karol.
No, I have not. Is there a way to install 1.6?

I'm running it atm so yeah :-) *But* I have a rather lean install and I have only a couple of dependencies I need to keep in sync with the old xorg. It may not work for you.
If you want to give it a shot, e-mail me and I'll e-mail you back the packages and a script that should take care of the downgrading.

You can grab the old PKGBUILDs off the svn and build it. Have fun though, you will probably have to tweak them abit, and possibly rebuild a small load of other packages too.
I would do it in a chroot or a vm.
(or even better, update whatever you are trying to use. You shouldn't use stuff that requires outdated versions of xorg-server)

I can't wait the day I'm going to play Duke Nukem Forever on my old (currently unsupported) Intel card. Until then, I'll stick with xorg-server 1.6 ;P

Well, I have to rewrite one biiiiiig piece of soft that uses XSHM, then. And I am going to, but right now I just have no time for it.
And one more time, thanks, karol!
