Thankyou very much Yuri l. Kornilov for the step by step instructions. I'll try the workaround .

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 Video card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI 3D Rage Pro AGP 1X/2X (rev 5c) OS: Lubuntu 12.10 (upgraded from 12.04) Package: xserver-xorg-video-mach64 6.9.3-0ubuntu1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-mach64/+bug/1077975/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
