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

[Fritz Hudnut]

@Israel:

After some time spent fiddling around trying to do it the hard way, I
decided to take your suggestion and just "borrow" the xorg.conf file from
be.linux . . . and seem to have "gotten lucky" on my first choice . . . so
14.04 is working better on the iBook.

Only pointers . .. the "sudo mv ~/Downloads/filename"  gambit did not work
. . . found a thread online on the wget material . . . using first the
"sudo wget" line followed by  "sudo mv ibook7.txt /etc/X11/xorg.conf" . . .
and then full tilt boogie "sudo reboot" . . . got the lightdm login window
working.  Doing the TTY "sudo lightdm restart" got me into a "twilight
zone" of weirdness . . . the reboot brought seemingly most of the GUI
back.  Now I could read all of the "14.04 has experienced a problem" error
windows that have been opening every time I've logged in in the last week,
etc.

Haven't tested "suspend" yet . . . that will be the deal maker or breaker
for staying with 14.04 or falling back to 12.04 . . . .

Thanks for the helpful suggestions . . . "easy is good."
