My Dell Poweredge 2200 has a ATI Mach64 264VT PCI 1mb video controller built into the board. This system was running xwindows KDE fine under Slackware 9.0. Now that I upgraded to Slackware 10.0 and with it Xorg 6.7.0 the video controller is no longer supported under xwindows. The console video was perfect. The first time I tried startx my system spontaneously did a hard reboot. This never happened again. Most of the times I entered startx the system would start, and my monitor would reset and go blank. Ctrl+Alt+F2, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, Ctrl+Alt+'+', none worked. The only thing I could do is Ctrl+Alt+Delete. It was as if the system failed to load and returned to the console mode without the video controller processing it. Under some more general and minimal xorgconfig's it would fail to load xwindows and the video processor would drop back to the console. Under every circumstance I would have this error in the logs. "XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining." Tried multiple config's but nothing worked. Added a ATI Rage Pro Turbo PCI 4mb and xwindows is running fine now.
Please get me at least a log.
Ping!
Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
Closing due to lack of activity, reopen if it persists. Possibly a duplicate of bug #6332 which is more comprehensive.
