I loaded Ubuntu-MATE 15.04 Beta2 again. This time I added these to my
boot parameters drm.debug=14 log_buf_len=14M and pulled the dmesg and
journalctl log off.  Will be attaching them. Here is a sample of what I
am seeing

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.

  Download:

  PLEASE help us.

  Thanks in advance.

  Cheers,

  Christian
