Old machines with uvesafb.

Hi,

Latelly I try to install MX-23 xfce on a Dell optiplex 755.
it's come witha 82Q35 video.

Unfortunatelly the i815 driver with kernel 6.1 does not work, instead can be run xorg with fbdev driver.
to get work requires to load 'uveasfb.ko' which is requires to install v86d_0.1.10-5_amd64.deb package (unfortunatelly not available in the debian repo since bookworm, so I get it freom the ubuntu repo.

With all requests, as per forum rules (which, if you haven't, please read), please share your full Quick System Info, do not edit.
If need be, you can do this using the LiveUSB, thanks.

This is a problem. See here:

Your machine is sixteen years old. I think that you should have used MX Package Installer (MXPI) to install a kernel that would have been current with your computer --> the Antix 4.9.xxx or the Antix 4.19.xxx
