Forum rules
We don't support installations in VirtualBox, VMWare, qemu or others. We ignore posts about WINE, PlayOnLinux, Steam and Skype. We don't support btrfs, lvm, UEFI, side-by-side installations with GPT or dualboot with anything newer than Windows XP.
Google your problem first. Check the Wiki. Read the existing threads. It's okay to "hijack" an existing thread, yes! If your problem is not yet covered, open a new thread. To get the quickest possible help, mention the exact release codename in your post (uname -a is a good idea, too). Due to the lack of crystal balls, attach the output of lspci -nnk if you encounter hardware problems.

Last chance wux, does the machine have any open expansion slots? PCI VGA cards are super cheap. Plus you could add a little more memory when you have it open.

But really, I think you like whining about your ancient machine... :)

We promise we won't fall again for you, wux....

Or what if we place some bets? What will the next wux-thread be about:

[ ] Flash crash in tty
[ ] Tandy gfx support
[ ] drivers for RS-232 to connect a 5 1/4" floppy
[ ] virtualize 64bit qemu on a 80086

kidding, wux, kidding :)) (don't dare to open such a thread!)
