I have an old-ish server (from 2006-2007 more or less) that was using solaris until some months ago but was taken out of service.
It was running X with a very basic DE.
Today, I was trying to give it a new use, but I face the problem that I cannot manage to make the video card to work
lspci reports this:
05:06.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Rage XL (rev 27) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
And I installed xorg, xorg-apps and xorg-drivers but it does not seem to work auto-magically...
I tried installing the closed source drivers without luck:
When KDE is supposed to start, I get a black screen: No mouse even and the inability of switching to a text based console....
The graphic card is integrated in the motherboard..... I hope someone can at least point me in the right direction: It's nice hardware to be used with arch and it would be a shame letting it to get forgotten in a corner forever accumulating dust.
Any ideas would help.
Thanks!

Wow, that thing is ooooooooold
There are no xorg-apps and xorg-drivers packages in Arch, are you sure you're not using Gentoo ? Anyway, you want the xf86-video-mach64 driver. I don't know if X will pick it up automatically. If it won't, this xorg.conf will do it:
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Rage XL"
Driver "mach64"
EndSection

Thanks for your suggestion, I haven been able to test it until today.
No luck
This is my /var/log/Xorg.0.log after reboot....

You could try the ' lts ' kernel. I've had better luck with that one using an old PC.
In my case it's a 'Rage Pro' graphics. I can get it to boot, load and run OK but it will not exit 'X-windows' without locking up the PC.
So I just crash it every time as it is only a play thing.
Offline
Hmmm... so, maybe I'd better find some other video card (nvidia perhaps) to use instead.......
Thanks for the suggestions
EDIT: Looks like I'm stuck with that video card: I have no AGP port: Only old PCI slots, so I must either make the thing work or forget about DE.......
A total shame being a 64 bit capable hardware only lacking a decent video card.....

Seriously? 64bit capable hardware, but no AGP or PCI-e? Well, you can get one of these: http://geizhals.at/zotac_geforce_gt_610 … 83230.html
Or you figure out what's wrong. That log unfortunately doesn't say anything. The driver loads, finds the card, then unloads. Who knows why.
Offline
Yeah: The computer was a xerox freeflow server (aimed to variable printing purposes) running solaris and with really few graphical capabilities that I wanted to give a second chance to... but quite disappointed that old hardware gets deprecated like that!! (I just thought it worked some other way, like keeping backwards compatibility would be so common, specially after criticizing microsoft and apple for doing so Intentionally.
As linux works on old hardware, I expected to at least make the video card working....
Offline
Nothing got deprecated, the old drivers are still being maintained. But since few people still have the hardware, it's quite natural that issues will arise. There's still a lot you can play with - check X manpages to see if you can increase the verbosity of the log, disable EXA (since there's no XAA anymore, that means ShadowFB), go through all the options the mach64 manpage mentions that sound interesting... Also search the freedesktop bugzilla for mach64-related bugs.
Or you buy that Nvidia card I linked to, it provides VDPAU, so you could use the machine for media playback. Or you give up on the machine and retire it. Lots of options.

Ok, I removed the vesa driver and updated the system, now I get this:

I don't know if feeling more confused or relieved that the error log looks to be more specific now... xD
EDIT:
I installed hwd from AUR and ran hwd -X
Two config files were created: xorg.conf.ati and xorg.conf.vesa
The .ati one didn't work, but the .vesa one did!!!!
Now I can at least run KDE and knowing the card has 8Mb of memory, I think I cannot get anything better..... No animations, but they are not necessary at all......
Changing vesa for mach64 on the driver section didn't work either.... the module loads, then unloads, like before....
Solved perhaps or do you have any more ideas?
Thanks!!!

I wouldn't call using the vesa driver "solved". Vesa is a fallback.
That log looks much better. We have a crash. Which reminded me of the SiS driver having issues with EXA hooks, the solution was to deactivate some of the hooks. In the bug discussing SiS, there's a link to a patch for mach64: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51137
Edit: Hmm, the latest xf86-video-mach64 release should already have that patch included. Well, the crash could still be EXA related. For SiS, I switched to ShadowFB as a workaround before the driver was patched.
A crash should be reported. The mach64 driver has a maintainer now, so there are chances the crasher could be fixed. But you'll need to recompile a bunch of stuff with debug symbols, so that you'll get a more usable backtrace.

Re: Post.4
I've finally got my old savage card working. Had to use ' Option "DisableTile" in xorg.

What kind of usb ports does that thing have? If at least 2.0, maybe you could use an external video card. They are quite weird though and probably tough to set up.

Well, good idea, but I think it would b better to get a simple PCI one... (I didn't know they were around still) and set it up
Thanks though!!
