How do I install the old versions? I tried installing 6.13.2+git20110124.fadee040-0ubuntu4 and ...ubuntu3 but I got dpkg dependency problems stating that they depend on xorg-video-abi-9.0. apt-get can't find that package. (It can find xorg-video-abi-9, but selects xserver-xorg-core instead, and that's at the newest version in natty.)

I also tried the maverick version on that page (6.13.1-1ubuntu5) and again, dpkg has dependency issues, this time the required package is xorg-video-abi-8.0, and that this version of xserver-xorg-video-(ati|radeon) provides xserver-xorg-video-8 which xserver-xorg-core breaks.

If this helps, I did not have these problems under maverick, and while I had minor problems in natty a few weeks ago, they got noticeably, drastically worse when the 6.14 drivers were released.
