@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." F/ e.e.p. On Sun, Aug 24, 2014 at 6:53 PM, Israel <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Fritz, > Just find the one that is closest and try it out.
