    <thetext>xorg-drv-ati, xorg-drv-mach64 in School Lite 5.0.1 on the video card: ATI rage mobility p/m agp 2x

(First off, in the installer, testing X makes the screen black, and the computer doesn&apos;t respond any more to any key combinations. So, in order to complete the installation, one shouldn&apos;t test X. 

After the installation, X doesn&apos;t start; it reports something like that there is no driver and hence no screen; the value of the driver parameter in /etc/X11/xorg.conf is empty.)

So, as the first thing after the installation, we put &quot;ati&quot; or &quot;mach64&quot; into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

With &quot;ati&quot; in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, X starts (in the log, one can read that it loads the mach64 driver). But when one switches to a text linux console, after a short while, X crashes (caught signal 11).

Surprisingly, putting &quot;mach64&quot; straight into /etc/X11/xorg.conf causes X not to start: we get a blank screen, and can&apos;t exit this state; however, the computer does respond to key combinations, e.g., Ctrl+Alt+SysRq+O did work. (Or perhaps this was caused not by the specification of &quot;mach64&quot; in xorg.conf, but merely by the previous crash of X.)


Workaround so far: put &quot;ati&quot; into xorg.conf, and don&apos;t switch to linux text consoles.</thetext>

    <thetext>The description of the problem looks similar to https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23352 &quot;По завершении сеанса валится Х-сервер. После чего умирает консоль.&quot;, but the driver is a different one, and the versions of the kernel and X are different...</thetext>

    <thetext>Some people mention that they used this or a similar video card with older releases of ALT&apos;s distros: 

http://lists.altlinux.org/pipermail/community/2009-September/655744.html (re: 4.1 was better than p5 in this respect)

https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15644#c3 (re 4.1)

https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6473#c0 (re a much older Compact 2.3)

https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1830#c7 (re the old times of linux-2.4)

So, since they don&apos;t report this problem, probably the older releases of ALTLinux (e.g., 4.1) didn&apos;t have this problem; so, one could try installing the X server or the kernel from the 4.1 branch or one of the 4.1 distro in order to get a working system on this ATI video card.</thetext>

&gt; xorg-drv-ati, xorg-drv-mach64 in School Lite 5.0.1 on the video card: ATI rage
&gt; mobility p/m agp 2x

This report concerns 

xorg-drv-ati-6.12.3-alt1.i586.rpm
xorg-drv-mach64-6.8.1-alt1.i586.rpm

, the same releases of the packages as the branches 5.1 and p5 currently have. 

(Thanks for the lists ftp://ftp.altlinux.ru/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/p5/iso/school/5.0.1/altlinux-5.0.1r1-school-lite-i586-ru-install-cd.iso.txt !)</thetext>
