XFCE doesn't seem to be the lightweight expected of its reputation:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrvJOXypAbk

My so-so experience with old Radeons resurfaced again today. My Radeon 9000 is no longer usable, producing terrible screen scrambling after less than 10 minutes of use even though its cooler is clean and its fan is working. So I removed it and replaced it with a Radeon 7500. It works OK, but I latched onto a Radeon 9700 to put in. It too is working so-so, but good enough for test purposes.
Code:
inxi -CGSxy
System:
  Host: k8mmv Kernel: 4.19.0-16-amd64 x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 8.3.0
  Desktop: Trinity R14.0.9 Distro: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
CPU:
  Info: Single Core model: AMD Sempron 3000+ bits: 64 type: UP arch: K8 rev.E
  rev: 2 cache: L2: 128 KiB
  flags: lm nx pae sse sse2 sse3 bogomips: 3599
  Speed: 1800 MHz min/max: N/A Core speed (MHz): 1: 1800
Graphics:
  Device-1: AMD R300 [Radeon 9700/9700 PRO] driver: radeon v: kernel
  bus-ID: 01:00.0
  Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.4 driver: loaded: radeon
  unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,vesa resolution: 1920x1200~60Hz
  OpenGL: renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 7.0 128 bits) v: 3.3 Mesa 18.3.6
  direct render: Yes
I believe both outright failure of the 9000 and sub-par performance of the 9700 are due to ancient graphics RAM failing. Those colored vertical lines in the images attached to post #15 indicate a hardware problem, possibly failing old graphics RAM also.

All that said, let's have a look at Xorg.#.log. # usually means 0, but sometimes it will be 1 or some other number. We want the newest one, one with a current time stamp. There are two places to look for it, /var/log/, and ~/.local/share/xorg/. On finding, upload it for us to see. e.g.:
Code:
pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Before that though, give a try to whittling down that noapic, nolapic, acpi=off list to only one or two of the three. It's hard to imagine actually needing them all. It might also be worth trying radeon.agpmode=-1 instead of that whole bunch.

Your audio trouble needs its own thread. So does that Mate when selecting XFCE problem. This thread is about your Radeon, though it's not entirely clear what's bothering you about it at this point.

Its subject to personal evaluation. A lot are good. Test several on your own.
For the testing of the iso (already identified: lightweight distribution, no GNOME or other RAM demanding things), use this: https://www.ventoy.net/en/isolist.html (see a lot of HowTo of "envoy" on youtube).
And you will find something at your taste.

I think it's an LCD issue, just 3 colored lines. Despite this, I can watch youtube videos with audio perfectly working (obviously, in MS Windows).

Just found both logs (with 0 and 1) but pastebinit command is not found.

acpi=off is necessary as well as nolapic. At that point, it seems that noapic can be omitted without getting errors.

I tried that but I got these lines:
MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
acpu LNXCPU:01 (invalid PBLK length [0])
radeon 0000:01:00.0: Disabling GPU acceleration

For the audio trouble I actually need to take more information and possibly start a new thread.
The Xfce problem seems now solved and I haven't done anything to solve it. The DE choice has now been memorized. By the way, RAM usage is just about 240 MB. I expected much more than that.
So, at the moment, Xfce should be fine for my purposes.

Fix that thus:
Code:
sudo apt install pastebinit
Or share the hard way: goto http://paste.debian.net/ or equivalent and upload.

You know this how, from using Stretch or Jessie? Have you tried doing without all in Buster?

I've just typed pastebinit command in Xfce terminal and this is the result. Why those deprecation warnings?

Code:
root@localhost:~# pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log
/usr/bin/pastebinit:42: DeprecationWarning: dist() and linux_distribution() functions are deprecated in Python 3.5
  release = platform.linux_distribution()[0].lower()
/usr/bin/pastebinit:413: DeprecationWarning: pasteURLopener style of invoking requests is deprecated. Use newer urlopen functions/methods
  url_opener = pasteURLopener()
http://paste.debian.net/1196332/
Then, as you suggested, I've shared the hard way (paste.debian.net) and this is the result:

I thought noapic boot option was permanently removed by simply removing it from Grub. Anyway, it doesn't seem to have caused any issue.
Please, suggest any anomalies from this log, possibly even something related to the audio issue.

You know this how, from using Stretch or Jessie? Have you tried doing without all in Buster?
Since I only installed Buster stable, all the attempts were made in Buster. Never used Stretch or Jessie.

It worked! There's nothing in it that I recognize as a suggestion that there is anything wrong with Xorg. (EE) lines are bad. The only one you have is the one describing what it means.

Then, as you suggested, I've shared the hard way (paste.debian.net) and this is the result:
It was an available alternative in case pastebinit was too big a problem to manage, not really a suggestion. Please never paste in here directly any large file. Instead, upload somewhere and provide an URL.

With a clean log as you've shown, the more likely problem is in the old hardware, the screen itself, or tired old video RAM. That said, this is hardly the first problem I've seen lately with old Radeons. Finding URLs to descriptions of other reports is another matter. :P It's late and I'm very tired, so nothing has come to mind as I write this.

One software approach to try is disabling compositing. Desktop settings in KDE/Plasma can do this, so the other DEs you have installed should have something similar. An alternate method is creating this file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-extensions.conf, containing:
Code:

        Option          "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection
This method might prevent a particular session type to fail to start.

More information might be available from Xorg.0.log by appending the following to the linu line in grub: drm.debug=0x1e log_buf_len=1M

Have you been able to try LXDE or LXQt yet? Do they produce the same screen boogers?

Just to clarify: yes, if you edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg directly - but this is discouraged because some upgrade can overwrite that file at any time.
The proper way is to edit /etc/default/grub, then run 'update-grub' afterwards.

These are python warnings and have nothing to do with the topic at hand.
This might point to a larger problem in the background, or be completely harmless. With just warnings, I tend towards the latter.
A seperate topic, maybe.

from the Xorg.log the warning "modesetting" and "ZaphodHeads crtcs unavailable. Some outputs will stay off." are 2 paths I would search

Yes, LXDE has no variations in terms of screen boogers. It might be a screen problem, since youtube videos are played smoothly (but without audio).

I added those instructions after the existent boot options (.... acpi=off quiet) but the resulting log (pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log) gives the same information as the previous one.
Did I miss something?

Do they need some manual configurations via xorg.conf?
ZaphodHeads should be managed when it comes to multiple monitors. If it's so, at the moment, I don't have this particular necessity.

The modesetting warning might be something related to my post (#15) where I uploaded a couple of thumbnails to show what happened when I tried to install these packages:
xserver-xorg-video-radeon_19.0.1-1_i386.deb
libdrm-radeon1_2.4.97-1_i386.deb

Anyway, I don't know where this warning can bring in terms of possible practical limitations.

No. It's a normal request by driver developers for preparing bug reports according to this URL.

Should (tm) ...

The latter most definitely has nothing to do with uploading thumbnails.

What FloppyStuttgart suggested was that you put these terms into a search engine, combined with something like "Linux ati mobility radeon error", and see if you get helpful results.
Don't you want to overcome the state of not knowing?

Ok, from archlinux forum someone gave a tip for overcoming these warnings:

Falling back to old probe method for modesetting
Falling back to old probe method for fbdev


I should install these packages

xf86-video-fbdev (for Debian Buster: xserver-xorg-video-fbdev)
xf86-video-modesetting (for Debian Buster: xserver-xorg-core)

and then enable acpid.
But, in my case, I've acpi=off (otherwise I'd get an error) and acpid is something related to acpi. So, enabling acpid won't work, am I wrong?

Do I really need some xserver-xorg packages to remove those warnings?
From the log, I can see that modesetting, fbdev and vesa drivers are regularly loaded.
So, forgive me but it's not easy and intuitive to explain the reasons why those warnings are there and the upcoming possible issues that can arise from them.

xserver-xorg-core provides the modesetting DDX beginning in Stretch, upstream in server 1.17.0. xf86-video-modesetting last existed in Debian in Jessie.

Just install a distro that works on this old, old laptop.
You won't be happy with GNOME anyhow, if you somehow magically get it working. It will be slower than molasses. Tar, maybe.
