Making me install the xorg-edgers repository would be useless. I have already tried that, and only ppa-purge saved me from having to wipe the entire freaking system to reinstall. I never saw any Unix system produce a more violent crash/lockup/retry cycle than that repository did to my machine.

Using a stock Dell Dimension 2400, by the way.
