If he has an empty expansion slot, he may need to put a newer video card in it
order to keep the old server online with Xorg.
Are there any suitable alternatives to Xorg?
Alternative: qualified yes, as technically Fedora does provide Wayland, by
default even, but not for every WM or DE.
Suitable: highly doubtful for a gfxchip designed well over a decade ago.
If you need suggestion for a cheap replacement from eBay, look at PCIe Radeon
cards X300, X550, X600, X700, X800, X850. AGP maybe only Radeon 7500, as Radeon
9### has shown to be troublesome too, though my 9000 does work OK with certain
cmdline options.
Newer low cost PCIe cards I have working in F25 with KDE include Radeon HD5450
and GeForce 210.
