Comparing yours to mine (top line is you)

Display Server: X.Org 1.18.4 drivers: ati,radeon

unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,vesa resolution: 1024x600~ 60Hz
unloaded: fbdev, vesa Resolution: 1600x1200 @75.00hz


OpenGL: renderer: Mesa DRI Intel 945GME x86/MMX/SSE2 v: 1.4 Mesa 18.0.5
GLX Renderer: Mesa DRI R100 (RV100 5159) x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE DRI2

Is yours from Live session or installed OS on HDD? Mine is from Live session (Display server is down if I boot to HDD)

One of the differences between the live session and the disk install is the device interface. The interface to your hard disk could be wrong. Check the BIOS settings for the disk. You can get all sorts of weird corruption and errors when the BIOS is set the wrong way for the motherboard and disk combination.

What would I look for? I set up the bios as per the ASUS user guide. Everything is set up to default automatic settings. I can run other OS live sessions, install from them and then boot to the new install - no problem.

If other OS installs ok, it is probably not the BIOS.

Installed 19.1 xfce 32bit. it booted from HDD first time. No display sever down problem. 19.1 xfce Live session and installed are sluggish compared to 18.1 xfce and other Mint live sessions. 19.1 ran xsane and Gimp.

I’m running LM XFCE 32 bit on a 8.1” Acer Aspire One AOA150 netbook with a Atom 1.6 GHz N270 32 bit chip and 1.5 GB RAM.
Definitely not a gamer but boots & runs OK for net surfing and word processing (LibreOffice).
When the main distros drop 32 bit support next round it’ll be the death knell for these little blue netbooks.
