Good news, after trying three or four different variations, the GUI is back
using "fbdev" and I also changed the mode to "1920 x 1200" . . . and the
log in splash image is "smoother" than it was before, "blotchy" but not as
"blotchy" as it was before the xorg.conf file.

Only caveat is there was a "crash report" generated relating to
"xorg-server" or something like that. I "reported" it. There was an
obvious "glitch" in the mouse cursor movement when I logged in which I've
come to understand indicates a "crash."

I'm typing this in the MATE 16 GUI; we'll see how it goes on reboot.
Sending the apport-collect data to the new bug r128 related.
