I am writing this e-mail to request some information in order to downgrade a package that is used on my computer. Due to the use of a specific software on a HP Linux machine there needs to exist the following package: XFree86 OpenGL version 4.3.0-35 The problem is that the package that is installed is XFree86 OpenGL version 4.3.0-98, and this seems to be the cause for the malfunction of the software. I kindly ask for information regarding where to download the above mentioned version 4.3.0-35 and then how to downgrade the package. The operating system is Red Hat WS 3.0 2.4.21-40.ELsmp #1 SMP and the CPU's are AMD Opteron 64 bits.
The "-35" and "-98" in the above version numbers are both Red Hat revision numbers, not XFree86's. In other words, a Red Hat change, somewhere between 4.3.0-35 and 4.3.0-98 broke on your system. You will need to contact Red Hat about this problem, or use their source RPMs yourself to determine which Red Hat change causes the problem.
