Package xorg-xf86-video-fbdev is older than xorg-server

I downloaded the latest slitaz-rolling.iso and installed it on my harddrive today. However to get my graphic card (GMA500) working I need to use the fbdev-driver (and psb_gfx kernel module).

Trying to run startx displays the following error message: "(EE) module ABI major version (8) doesn't match the server's version (12)"

The reason seems to be that the fbdev-package is compiled for Xorg 1.9.5 but currently version 1.12.1 is installed.

Searching for solution to similar problem with ati driver on slitaz-rolling.iso I found this thread. Inspired downloaded xorg-xf86-video-ati-6.14.14.tazpkg but downloaded file seems to be corrupted despite several attempts with diferent browsers. Is it possible to get it fixed.

Thanks for this excellent distribution.
