...because the latest Xorg is behaving stupidly on my system, and I don't think there's anything I can do about it.
Everything uses a lot more CPU time (compositing [Compiz], FF scrolling [anything with sufficiently large static CSS elements makes it stutter
badly with CPU usage in excess of 50%, and this is on a multithreaded dual-core system! It did
not used to do this!], etc.), mouse sensitivity has changed (with no way of changing it back, apparently; Xfce's "Mouse" dialog doesn't change anything anymore), and other things. Is there any way I can go back to Xorg 1.8, or am I stuck with this until the next Xorg update? Is there anything I can do in the meantime, if that's the case? I'm really clueless here; I have no idea what's causing these problems, much less where to look to fix them (config files? installing/uninstalling libraries?
)
I was hesitant to do the update because I was afraid $#!t like this would happen...$#!t did happen. Am I stuck with it, or is there still hope for me?
thanks for the link...I didn't even think of searching the wiki; I was frustrated when I made the post. I managed to roll back Xorg to 1.8 successfully without trouble, as I still had the pkg.tar.xz file in the cache (now everything is back to the way it was CPU-load-wise 
), but I'm in the process of trying to get my touchpad working again (probably just need to re-install the Synaptic touchpad driver). Hopefully I can get that going without too many issues.
