--- End quote ---
clean install

--- Quote ---When X crashes at startup does it fall back to a console prompt?

--- End quote ---
yes, see the screenshot https://yadi.sk/i/HEQpTH8f3UYdwF

--- Quote ---If so, maybe you could use strace with startx to get some more info?

--- End quote ---
could you please provide the full command?

--- Quote ---How do you know that Ubuntu is using 3D and not software?

--- End quote ---
$ glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"
direct rendering: Yes

I have attached the logs from LUbuntu if they can help.

After it crashes, if you type startx at the console prompt does it work or crash again? Have you tried 64-bit TinyCore? For strace, load the strace extension and try:

--- Code: ---strace -D -f -s 254 -o strace-x.log startx
--- End code ---

Maybe some AV is doing something? I've tried every combination of settings in VM Player I can find and I can't reproduce the problem. It works in spite of everything I do to try to break it.

Yes, it crashes with the same error.

--- Quote ---Have you tried 64-bit TinyCore?

--- End quote ---
Yes. It crashes with the same "Illegal instruction" error, but with 64-bit address.

I tried to boot VM with disabled AV(Kaspersky free 18.0.0.405(g)) - got the same error.

Please check the log files with strace for both x64 and x86 VMs.

Your CPU is "Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5472 @ 3.00GHz (family: 0x6, model: 0x17, stepping: 0x6)" which I wouldn't think would be a problem.

Did you change any of the NVIDIA driver settings from their defaults? What NVIDIA chip do you have?

Hi andyj
The listing in the first post of this thread looks virtually identical to what is shown here:
