[lubuntu-users] 14.04.5 testing on acer aspire one

[scrooyahoo at riseup.net]

OK i'll try the GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x600 stuff

but as testing the 14.04.5 release what kind of feedback is needed so 
that the final release can be fixed?  or should i just wait what happens 
on the next build?

i'm new to testing and just too the dive while i'm here...
