I'm up to date with all packages except the mesa/drm/libgl packages I just downgraded 1 version. Everything was great before the update today and the drm snafu. What's the best way to get back to the config I had 24 hours ago? I took /var/log/pacman.log and backed out all updates except the kde & gnome printer control center modules (I can't see them being related), but I'm still not back to where I was before the updates.
