Testing report: Did the 14.04 upgrade . . . how do I fix it?

[Aere Greenway]

Fritz:

I was not able to fix the problem.  Someone (Nio?) had an idea that 
works on later Intel graphics card, but it did not work on this one.

I am able to use the machine for testing MIDI music (its main purpose), 
so I still use 14.04 on it.

I am fairly certain I would not be able to view youtube videos on it, 
but I don't need to.  Also, photos look better on it (desktop wallpaper) 
than the gradual color-gradients (such as in the default Lubuntu 
welcome-screen).
