This article will explain in detail how to downgrade Fedora 9 to Fedora 8. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

1. Downgrade X-Windos server

Remove Fedora 9 downgrade Xserver and install fedora8.repo wget http://www.linux-ati-drivers.homecall.co.uk/fedora8.repo-O / etc/yum.repos.d/fedora8.repoyumremove xorg-x11-server-Xorg xorg-x11-server-common rpm-e-- nodeps-- allmatches mesa-libGL mesa-libGLU mesa-libGL-devel mesa-libGLU-develglx-utils

Edit the software source:

Perl-i-pe "s / (\ [. *\]) /\ 1\ nexclude=xorg*linuxwacom*rhpxl*mesa*/" / etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo

Perl-I-pe "s / (\ [.*\]) /\ 1\ nexclude=xorg* linuxwacom* rhpxl* mesa*/" / etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo

Install Fedora 8 Xserver:

Yum clean all

Yum groupinstall "X Window System"

Here, if your network is not very good, the above step will be very slow, and I did not successfully install it in the virtual machine.

If yuminstallmesa-libGLmesa-libGLUmesa-libGL-develmesa-libGLU-develsystem-config-displaysystem-config-keyboardfirstboot makes an error, install Fedora 8 {# rm-f / var/lib/rpm/__db.* to delete the database used by rpm if there is an error. # rpm-rebuilddb rebuild the database}

It's actually done here, and all that's left is to install the corresponding graphics card driver. There are two options: install the official driver or install the Livna driver.

I used to install the official driver, because it was installed in Fedora 8, there is no problem. In this method, many of you can directly search the Fedora 8 graphics card driver corresponding installation method.

Example: my graphics card is ati x1300 mobile version

Direct # sh ati-driver-installer-8-6-x86.x86_64.run Note that there must be # aticonfig-initial and then log out. If you log off directly to aticonfig-initial as you did in Fedora 8, it's over. I myself use here, the following is the method of installing the Livna driver and reverse operation, for reference only, I did not test.

two。 Install the driver

Install the Livna driver:

Rpm-Uhv http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-9.rpm

Yum--enablerepo=livna-testinginstallxorg-x11-drv-fglrxxorg-x11-drv-fglrx-libsakmod-fglrxkmod-fglrx

Akmods-- Kernels `uname-r` (symbol "`" is the one to the left of numeric key 1)

For 64-bit systems, the following sentence should be added: yuminstallxorg-x11-drv-fglrx-libs.i386

3. Edit xorg.conf

Gedit/etc/X11/xorg.conf adds the following sections.

Section "Extensions" Option "Composite"Enable" EndSection Section "ServerFlags" Option "AIGLX"on" EndSection Section "DRI" Mode0666 EndSection

And add the following two options to devicesection:

Option "OpenGLOverlay"off"

Restart the system after Option "VideoOverlay"on".

The reverse operation of the above operation:

1. Uninstall the glrx driver

Yumremove$ (rpm-qa | grepfglrx)

two。 Edit / etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repoand/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo

Remove the following line Code: exclude=xorg*linuxwacom*rhpxl*mesa*

3. Remove Fedora 8.repo

Rm/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora8.repo

4. Upgrade the system

Yumupdate

3.Fedora 9 downgrade installation 3D simple 3 commands

Yum install compiz*

Yum install ccsm

Yum install fusion-icon

After installing these three, the installation of compiz is almost complete, and you can use it by starting compiz fusion icon after reboot. In addition, if you have a friend who can't start the 3D effect under the Fedora 9 downgrade, you can type: yum install fusion-icon* so there should be no problem.
