On the one hand initial problem is gone - X starts ok now. On the other hand final picture is buggy - video-buffer seems to be corrupted and system is not really usable. I attach two screenshots of fresh Xubuntu 13.10 i386 desktop - one on Radeon (good picture), other on Rage 128 (corrupted one). I tested different video-cards (Rage 128 and Rage 128 Pro, 16 and 32 MB, all AGP) and three different motherboards (AMD on VIA and nVidia chipset and P4 on Intel chipset) - the same issue with all configurations. Effects (desktop composition) can be turned on or off - does not really matter. Even lightdm screen have corruptions.
As for now I have plenty of such PCs working smoothly under Xubuntu 12.04 - have not tested 13.04 yet. ** Attachment added: "Bad screen" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-r128/+bug/1268298/+attachment/3949783/+files/Screenshot-r128.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-r128 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1268298 Title: Xubuntu 13.10 can not start X with Rage 128 graphic cards To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-r128/+bug/1268298/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
