Sorry, no idea here. Gobo is known to work fine on QEMU, which was the
platform used during the development and release cycle of 015. I'd suggest
you to try it with QEMU. If that is not an option, you can send me the
contents of /Data/Variable/log/Xorg.0.log and we can keep trying to debug
your problem.
