How old is "old"? I have Jessie with TDE running just fine on a Dell
originally shipped 2004-02-16.
Exactly which gfxchips are in those machines? Sometimes when support for old
hardware goes away, it's the fault of upstream, not any distro. All my old
hardware works with FOSS drivers.
Which DE were you trying to use?
