Title:
ATI Rage IIc PCI card; X goes into crash loop at X start after boot
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
So, I found in my drawer an old Rage IIc PCI card that I decided to
put into my Vectra VLi8, which is running Ubuntu quite good on its
standard 10 gigabytes' main drive and 450 MHz Pentium III processor.
The onboard video adapter is a Matrox MGA200, which Ubuntu runs
successfully on without a single problem. Plugged the VGA into the
good ol' Rage, boot, and what do you know, X boots up a cursor and a
purple background before crashing. It then proceeds to try starting
itself again, crashing in the same manner, getting itself stuck in a
loop.
Summary:
Card: ATI Rage IIc
Expected: Successful X start
Instead: X crashes repeatedly in a loop fashion
Sidenote: I'm not really experienced with Linux so I may need some
help. I hail from Windows.
Update 1:
FailsafeX does not work. Tested this on all my installed kernels (3.8.0
(default), 3.5.0, 2.6.32), failed on all; Of note is even further graphical
glitching on 2.6.32, namely stretching/changed colors (black/cyan instead of
purple/white). However, recovery mode works. Upon trying startx:
Fatal server error:
Could not create lock file in /tmp/.tX1-lock
(X.Org website, yadda. (EE))
(EE)
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server error
xauth: error in locking authority file /root/.Xauthority
Oh, any logs I should toss up here?
Update 2: lspci card info
00:10.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI 3D
Rage IIC PCI [Mach64 GT IIC] (rev 3a)
