lspci -nn | grep VGA
lsmod | grep ata

You are welcome. Hope it will work. This mini notebook seems a cool device to use with Lakka.

didnt work i tried it twice
It failed because it didn’t find mesa software rendering driver (swrast), we need to enable it. I need to check with Kivutar.
In the meantime, is it possible you try to boot with lubuntu and to see how it reacts ?
For the graphic card you can try to launch in a terminal (glxinfo and glxgears).
And check if you have access to your HDD.
Lastly, can you get the ouput of (mostly for PATA drive from Toshiba vendor id should be 1179)
lspci -nn
