Hi Aere,

What graphics chip or card is there in that computer? If an old Intel
card, try UXA again according to this tip

Edit (or create) /etc/X11/xorg.conf as follows: (ugh, can't format,
should be a tab before each line except the first and the last).

Section "Device"
	Identifier "Intel Graphics"
	Driver "intel"
	Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
EndSection

Restart X (reboot, restart your display manager, whatever).

If not Intel, or this does not work, maybe there is another solution,
that someone with the same graphics chip/card can give you. If not here,
try at the Ubuntu Forums.

Good luck
