Thanks for your help, Felix. I put the adapter cards back in, and successfully re-installed with Xfce instead of Gnome. Seems to work pretty well so far. There is some mouse sluggishness with Firefox (scroll wheel and marking selections) but other apps seem to not have this problem. Sound card output is excellent. - Dan

It might be worth checking to see if xserver-xorg-input-libinput is installed and used rather than the old xserver-xorg-input-mouse, which is not installed here on an even older GeForce2 working nicely in Stretch using TDE on an ancient Athlon XP 2100+ (1733MHz). -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
