There are a lot of unhandled signal 11 errors in those logs - could you
confirm if you all have those so we're talking about the same error?  If
downgrading the xorg packages fixes those errors, then what was the last
working xorg package(s)?

Bug description:
  Hi All,

  We updated ubuntu MATE 15.04 and Lubuntu 15.04 on our PowerPC
  computers (Power Mac G5 Quad and AMIGA one X1000) last week. Synaptic
  told us that it want to remove xserver-xorg-video-radeon and xserver-
  xorg-video-ati. But there are new versions available (xserver-xorg-
  video-radeon 1:7.5.0-1ubuntu2 and xserver-xorg-video-ati
  1:7.5.0-1ubuntu2). Synaptic removed both old packages and Xorg didn't
  work after that. I selected both new packages and updated them
  manually. After a restart I had a black screen with a blink cursor.
  There aren't any error messages in the log file '/var/log/Xorg.0.log'
  but I found some error messages in the log file '/var/log/syslog':

      . Exiting.

  I installed Upstart again but unfortunately it didn't solve the
  problem with the black screen and the blink cursor.

  The temporary solution is to downgrade Xorg:

  sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-core_1.16.0-1ubuntu1.3_powerpc.deb
  sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-radeon_7.4.0-2ubuntu2_powerpc.deb
  sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-ati_7.4.0-2ubuntu2_powerpc.deb

  I created a package with all debs and Mesa libs for the downgrade last
  week.

  PLEASE help us.

  Thanks in advance.

  Cheers,

  Christian
