Yes, for me this bug is fixed.

Thanks for the link, I may check into it, but low probability of time to
get 14.10 running on the iMac . . . I'm simply assuming it is "unsupported"
. . . vis video drivers . . . I heard "nv" is no longer available, etc.

This 1371651***might*** be an issue on the iMac, since the screen went
green/black to black, as it does w/o proper xorg.conf file . . . I can't
tell if it gets to lightdm, of course on the "live desktop" I think it just
goes to the desktop, right? And, same thing on iBook, since I booted the
live version it just went to Desktop.

> On the iBook it is not a "blank GUI" . . . it is a GUI that freezes or I
guess we could say, "crashes" . . . but leaving the GUI present . . . all
the buttons and windows are there, but nothing responds. I would assume
that is a bug of some type, when I get time I'll try to file or find an
appropriate bug for the new problem . . . which isn't exactly new, since in
14.04 on the iBook, window dragging is "blotchy" . . . slow, and scrolling
is slow . . . . So, whatever that issue is has either not been handled or
has possibly worsened on the PPC platform?

The "nosplash" thing I got from the Yaboot "tab" key . . . the "quiet
splash" thing had to do with the fix for another bug on "gdm" or lightdm??
