Comment 20 for bug 292214

This is how I installed the old xorg (if I knew what I was doing it would probably work without the dpkg --purge...):

Added the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted
deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main restricted

cd /var/lib/dpkg/info/
dpkg --purge `ls *xorg*.list | sed s/.list// `
dpkg --purge `ls *xorg*.list | sed s/.list// `
dpkg --purge kubuntu-desktop
dpkg --purge `ls *xorg*.list | sed s/.list// `
apt-get --reinstall install x11-common/hardy
apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-mga/hardy xserver-xorg-core/hardy xserver-xorg-video-glint/hardy xserver-xorg/hardy xserver-xorg-input-evdev/hardy xserver-xorg-input-kbd/hardy xserver-xorg-input-mouse/hardy
