xf86-video-cube Crashes Xorg

I tried every freaking tutorial on the internet and it just won't work. .-.

If I use "Xorg -configure" to generate a .conf file, it crashes Xorg. If I use someone else's xorg.conf file, when I use "startx" I get the same errors that flash really quick on the screen and then Xorg crashes again.

When it crashes, it just clears the screen and an unblinking underscore is left at the top corner. And it just sits like that.

When X crashes, you can check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what the errors were.

This is the xorg.conf that worked for me in both Debian and Ubuntu:

I don't know what it all means, but it works for me.

Farter's fbdriver works excellent. You should try that instead of xf86-video-cube.
