Just in order to test and for no better reason (my system with Intel i845 was working pretty well without Compiz), I decided to try the latest drivers by adding to my sources.list the following lines and upgrading:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ubuntu intrepid main

Not a good idea, because when I booted up after the upgrade and arrived at the GDM screen, all I could see was a blank screen with faint Ubuntuish colours and no login text box, keyboard dead but mouse cursor visible. Keyboard not responding, I had to hard-reset the machine.

This is what I get in Xorg.0.log:

[etc; the last line repeated hundreds of times.]

I know this might not be the best place to ask such a silly question, but how do I revert back to the working version of the Xorg drivers...?
