Have you tried this with any other WM/DE? Like twm, for instance? -- Savyasachee Jha *"Aerodynamics is for people whodon't know how to build engines."*

Intel you say? Check this bug https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/40899 Basically, stick with a 3.14 kernel for the moment.

Hi!

Apologies but i do not know how to reinstall the 3.14 kernel, linux is 3.15 and linux-lts is 3.10.. Can i get from some repo the 3.14 package?

If you haven't cleaned your pacman cache (i.e. using pacman -Sc), you'll find a backup of all your old packages at /var/cache/pacman/pkg/. Locate the Linux package you need and use pacman -U <package filename> to install. Cheers!

There's no repo, but you can get old versions from the Arch Rollback Machine (obviously expect no support): http://seblu.net/a/arm/packages/l/linux/ Then just install with pacman -U -- Oliver Temlin

Thanks guys, downgrade seems to be stuck, after selecting package number just sits there, perhaps its downloading but not giving me feedback.. I tried "downgrader" from AUR and it worked awesome !

For the time being, I'm maintaining a custom 3.14 kernel for myself. It's nothing fancy. It's just the default x86_64 options, except it builds Linux 3.14.10. (Right now, it's x86_64 only because I do not run Arch on an older 32-bit only chip.) Feel free to build it if you want: https://github.com/KlipperKyle/linux-custom Kernel 3.14.11 is coming as soon as I have the chance to update the PKGBUILD. --Kyle
