I've been having issues with extremely frequent screen lockups and scrambled text. One possible fix was in mesa 9.2.3. Unfortunately, the latest version in the official repos was mesa 9.2.1. Hence, I tried installing all the debs from here: a ppa marked "don't use this". Sigh.

Anyway, I got a whole bunch of dependency errors. (Ignore the lines about the new kernel. That had previously installed.)

I then changed my mind again, and tried to install dependencies with

$ sudo apt-get -f install

Abort.

However, for some reason, things like Abiword were marked for uninstall. So:

1. Why is Abiwork, etc. marked for uninstall?


2. How would I revert this horrible half-installation?


3. Is it possible to make this installation work (in an easily revertable fashion), or should I install mesa from source (and is that revertable)?
