Title:
MACH64 video driver crashes with Mach 3D Rage Pro
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-mach64” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
It seems that xserver-xorg-video-mach64 is broken in Lubuntu 12.10.
After the upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 MACH64 video driver crashes, causing
infinite loop at boot:
starting desktop manager, X server crash, restarting desktop manager, X
server crash, restarting desktop manager, X server crash, etc.
It is impossible even to switch to text console.
I found a workaround - booting in rescue mode, mounting filesystem read-write
and creating the file containing lines
------------------------------
Section "Device"
Identifier "Default device"
Option "NoAccel"
EndSection
------------------------------
in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d stops the crashes of X server and allows to
boot desktop environment. But doing without video acceleration on a slow
machine is not a good thing.
I hope it will be possible to find the bug (in 12.04 this video driver worked
OK).
Some details which may be useful:
System:
CPU Pentium III 500MHz, RAM 512 MB

Package:
xserver-xorg-video-mach64 6.9.3-0ubuntu1
