Should we be surprised that a laptop from 2004 works well with
a contemporary Windows OS—so did my Travelmate from the same year.

But as each version of Debian is released, I have to retweak
things to get X to run reliably. However, I can still browse
(slowly) on buster, and it plays videos reasonably smoothly
unless their resolution exceeds the screen's. I get the
impression it runs faster on jessie, so smoother videos, but
I wouldn't consider opening a browser.

It's a modest 1.50GHz Pentium with 500MB memory with 64MB video
memory. In Wheezy, I needed Option "AGPFastWrite" "no" in
xorg.conf, but in buster I get by with nomodeset in the kernel line.
Obviously I only run a WM, not a DE.

It would be a pleasant surprise if someone in Debian or the kernel
team took an interest in what tweaks to make, perhaps by chance
still running a similar video card (mine being an ATI Radeon
Mobility: 0x4e50).
