I see. Well, the way LTS generally works is "if it worked before, it'll keep
working, but you get security/etc updates". It didn't work for you before, so
that strategy won't work too well for you.

I'm not particularly knowledgeable on Ubuntu. "oibaf ppa" is something I've
heard said in connection to Ubuntu and easier availability of pre-packaged
mesa.  A quick search turns up

https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers

which makes claims about supporting Ubuntu 14.04. Hope this helps.
