You can do it in dselect-- select xserver-svga for install. You'll see
it has a version number of 3.3.6. You can uninstall xserver-xfree86,
which has a 4.1.0 version number. But I wouldn't uninstall the 4.1
version. Just leave it on there and don't run it. Which server runs
depends on the symlink at /etc/X11/X, which is linked to the server you
want. Once you've installed the 3.3.6 server, you can symlink /etc/X11/X
to it (if not already done by the install). Of course, you don't have to
select xserver-svga. There may be another xserver-* 3.3.6 version that
works better for your laptop.
