Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) reached end-of-standard-support on April 29, 2021. I'm setting the status of this bug to 'Incomplete' as it's not seen any activity for some time. If this is still an issue when using a currently maintained release of Ubuntu then please let us know which one(s) otherwise this bug report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1607966 Title: X doesn't start with r128 driver with PM 3,1 PPC ATI Rage Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I was working on bug #1541082 which was reporting "blotchy" graphics images on my PowerMac3,1 with Rage ATI Pro 128 card . . . and got the suggestion to try to add the "r128" driver, which I did. After that the display went black. After fiddling around with it, I removed the r128 driver, made an xorg.conf file . . . and after numerous attempts to get the display back, today I got "fbdev" and mode "1920 x 1200" to bring the GUI back online . . . but, there was another "xorg" crash on reboot, which I reported, along with filing this bug against the r128 module for this PPC machine.
