Trident-series cards from the 1996-1997 era seem to have been built on VESA1.2, not the “newer” standard of VESA2.0. Which is all the stranger because my Fujitsu machine is a year older (at least) and has VESA2.0. Go figure. … :roll:

But if you ever come across one with 64mb or more ram, even with a slow cpu, it’s fun seeing it fly faster than a Win7 machine from this year ;)

1) changing the /etc/apt/sources.list entries from oldstable to unstable
2) changing the /etc/apt/preferences from stable to unstable
3) making sure that APT::ForceLoop Break=1; is in your /etc/apt/apt.conf file
4) ping pong back and forth between apt-get dist-upgrade and apt-get -f install.

For science though, try compiling a little program to see what really happens when you do. Will Intel factories explode? Will it rain cats and dogs? idunno
