Oddly enough, now, in addition to the graphical issues, we are also now running into sound problems... I have to admire the persistence of my friend. He really wants to run Linux :-) I'm still trying to work through the issues. It is quite slow since I'm trying to do it all remotely.
Everyone's advice is appreciated. We are making progress.
And.... it's done. My friend gave it a go for almost a week to try and get a stable Linux on his system. He tried ElementaryOS (a disaster from the start), Ubuntu 13.10 (couldn't even get the installer to find his drives because of GPT), and then openSUSE 12.3. openSUSE was the closest to actually working, but... with the constant segfaulting X, unreliable sound, and a host of other bizarre issues, he finally gave up and installed Windows. He has tried many times over the past 8 years. I have to give him credit for trying... and trying again :-P He says he might try again after openSUSE 13.1 is out. But... yah... that didn't go so well.... again.
