Newb hacker tip number one: try CTRL-ALT-F1 when you get the
technicolor screen. If your system isn't hosed then you'll get the
first tty.
The only time I can think of where /var/log/Xorg.0.log wouldn't be
populated with something useful is if the kernel module livelocks
talking to the card and/or fsck takes out the file on the next reboot
because it was in use.
And yes Michal is right, IIRC. 64-bit drivers didn't exist on that vers=
ion.
Just try this file and get back to us please with something more
useful than "it doesn't work". Otherwise we can't help you .
