Hello,

Again, sorry for the late reaction.
I have tried the xorg-edgers PPA, and when I run the script ("See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XorgOnTheEdge for a script that installs and runs the test packages in a live CD/media session, for quick and easy temporary testing.") I see some references, and errors, about gdm scrolling past.
I guess this is because gdm is not used anymore (it is lightdm now, right?).
And after the script finishes, all vtty's are acting weird, whenever I enter a command it outputs that it cannot find a command which consists of just a random bunch of letters.
I can then exit out of the shell (^D) and it goes back to normal, but when I manually restart Xorg (the script does not do that) I cannot open the system settings anymore.
All in all, I guess this only gives even more troubles than the stable Xorg.
The fglrx-legacy driver cannot be installed on 14.04, but the last time I did install it, it did not have support for the PCI graphics card (Mobility FireGL 9000), I highly doubt that AMD has put that in since, because the legacy driver would not get (feature) updates anymore.

With kind regards,
Robke Geenen
