How to get rid of graphic artifacts on HP t5135 + Thinstation and how will HP t5725 behave in the same bundle?

Question

linux

The bottom line is this: it is possible to take almost a hundred t5135 and t5725 for little money. In this regard, we took one t5135 for tests, remembering that the iron in it is very old.
Terminal servers are deployed on WS2012R2. For thin clients, PXE + Ponix 3 (thinstation 5 fork from t-sol.ru) or Thinstation 5.2 installed on DOM is used. Freerdp in both cases.
Thinstation 5.2 on HP T5135 and Thinstation 2.2.2i produces a slideshow when rendering graphics, it is impossible to work. Ponix behaves in a similar way.
I don’t really want to refuse such a freebie, but throwing money down the drain is not an option. I wonder how the T5720 will behave in this situation, but judging by Google, its video adapter is also no longer supported.
The question is: has anyone made it not just work, but work acceptably? Share your experience.

Answer 1

Thinstation on atom with one core 1.6, more than a dozen in the same network have been working closely with 1C for more than 3 years. Similarly, I ran it on VIA C7 and on pentium 800 MHz, everything depends on the freerdp settings and the WS system settings. At 5135, you can see the load of the processor and memory. 100MB of RAM is not enough. 16 MB on the video is also not very good. It is also worth trying rdesktop, it also comes in the standard HP5135 firmware. HP 5725 - AMD Geode NX 1500 1 GHz L2-cache 256 KB percent normal 256 MB of RAM is also nothing, besides, it can apparently be replaced. The video adapter is more serious but also 16 mb, although perhaps more can be allocated.
Another question is how cheap it is and for what actions, for example, now we install boards not on x86 processors. And on ARMAllwinner A10 SoC (ARM Cortex A8 @ 1GHz processor, with Mali 400MP GPU and CedarX VPU capable of decoding 2160p quadHD video). The price fluctuates from the supplier and lots of $100-150. A full-fledged debian is being raised, etc.
