Me too . . . must have been some "divine intervention" . . . as I was about
to give up on it for the day. I believe it was the choice for "fbdev"
driver that is the workhorse driver these days . . . it's fine, odd that I
recall seeing "fbdevhw" listed in one of the logs previously but that
didn't work in the xorg.conf file.

Possibly changing the display mode is what "smoothed" out many of the
topo-like blotches. Later today I'll reboot that computer and see how
things go; like does it generate a crash report each time it gets booted,
etc . . . or it got it figured out and now it will be "fine"????? Did the
"blotches" come back or stayed smoother, really give it a test run . . . .
Thanks for your support on this one. : - )
