Although when I booted the live DVD session it took literally 3 or 4 minutes for the cursor to appear and then the desktop; and perhaps I haven't been letting it take that long with these recent efforts?? It's all become a tad bit "odd" . . . in that trying the --configure gambit was returned as "failed" . . . and looking through "lsmod" shows none of the usual suspects as far as video drivers goes . . . and I did "autoclean" trying to remove "r128" to see if that would let the xorg.conf get busy . . . and r128 didn't show up in that list, so I did "sudo rm x-x-v-r128" (spelled out) and then it said "no such file or directory" . . . . And, multiple reboots and so forth, makes for a lot of time . . . . Anyway, as it is now, the graphics are not "blotchy" . . . they are "gone" so I don't know how I can support a "new" Bugzilla r128 bug with "evidence" because . . . now the screen is black, etc . . . and there is an xorg.conf file whereas before there wasn't, etc. I did look over the Xorg.log a couple times . . . nothing of any apparent relevance showed up, but then this area is an area of weakness . . . I have the "dual-boot" install process down, and years back I spent endless hours trying to get 12.04 to run the display on my old iMac 800 . . . now I'm generally finding that it is easier to do a fresh install than to mess around with the console on the tiny details . . . . But, I was thinking this morning I have some notes about the display "modes" where I have used something like "1024 x 768@60-32" . . . something like that, and ***that*** did make a difference on my iBook to get the display to work properly . . . possibly that is worth trying out . . . . I'll post back on the "progress" . . . when I get there.
