Public bug reported:
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.
