I found this package on the CD from 2007.0: x11-driver-video-i810-1.6.5-2mdv2007.0.i586.rpm Hopefully that is what you meant. > > You may have to download the RPM mandually and install with --oldpackage > argument to rpm. > I have never tried to back level a version until now. When I try to install version 1.6.5-2 (using 'urpmi'), even using --oldpackage, it fails. I get 3 errors refering to "conflicts with a file in package ..." where the referenced package is the newer version of the driver, 2.1.1-4 and the files are /usr/lib/I810XvMC.so.1.0.0, /usr/lib/I810XvMC.la and /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/i810_drv.so. Do I need to uninstall the newer package first or did I do something else wrong? <hr />Color coding for safety: Windows Live Hotmail alerts you to suspicious email. <a href='http://windowslive.com/Explore/Hotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_hotmail_acq_safety_112008 ' target='_new'>Sign up today.</a></body> </html>
