This is not necessary and might not be what you want. Ubuntu has
released the old version as an update, so you will have a fixed Xorg
server now. And when a new good, stable version comes out, it might fix
a bug in your pinned version. If you pinned it you will have to manually
un-pin it to get the security update. If you forget to do that you may
open yourself to a security flaw.
