Is there a better version of linux for a dell d600 latitude? Mint 13 works fine, except for one thing. Flash videos is horrible. The video drivers for firegl 9000 are bad. If it wasn't for that, it will run everything else effortlessly. I tried looking for a driver like 8.24, didn't find it.
I bought this laptop for 20 bucks ebay. Cheap deal to use on trips.

Use the open source "xf86-video-ati" radeon driver. ATI dropped support for the Radeon (RV250) Mobility FireGL 9000 after catalyst driver version 8.28.8.
