Hi curaga. This old workhorse boots eight distributions plus an offline WinXP install with DOS -> WinXP legacy games, swapping hardware would take forever to re-configure everything. If hardware dies so be it, but it's run forever, think the old stuff built better. Regardless got graphics running nice in dCore-xenial with default xorg-intel driver, outlined in another post. Simple xorg.conf modification got desired result (Option  "DRI"  "false"). So bearing hardware failure i expect to use this system past 2020. TC is such a blessing, with proper software 800 MHz system runs TC and dCore snappier than my other 1.8GHz box with Debian Wheezy LXDE. Always get a chuckle seeing Debian forum posts about their lean installs. For completeness if it helps other old hardware users upgrade to dCore-xenial, an xorg.conf file will most likely be required, try the DRI false option before turfing hardware:

EndSection

        SubSection "Display"
                Depth 16
                Modes "1280x800"
        EndSubSection
EndSection


--- End code ---

OK then. Just expect newer versions getting more and more broken with those graphics.
