Adding x11failsafe to the kernel command line prevents the segfaults and allows things to run as they should. Unfortunately it also causes the video to be so bad it's not really usable.
See if instead of using x11failsafe it helps to create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-extensions.conf containing the following: Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Disable" EndSection Or put it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you have one. What is your output from 'lspci | grep VGA'? Is mach64 the right driver? That's really old. Any chance you could install a newer gfxcard? Dell put Radeons in a lot of Optiplex systems made after that Poweredge. There's more than a decade of newer stuff available from eBay and local puter shops. Probably the current crop of kernel and driver devs aren't trying to test that driver themselves even if they do have the hardware and could. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
