Question Which Linux distro for my HP 6510b ??

I recently purchased an HP/Compaq 6510b notebook running windows xp pro.
and would like to run Linux instead. However, the video card makes it impossible for me to run 3-D graphics (Mobile Intel graphics media accelerator X3100)

Any suggestions???

Hiya neumdogy,
According to this Link, your X3100 is supported by the Intel 965 driver, which is supported by xorg, so I don't think you should have any problem. Just about any version of Linux will support this Chipset.

Hi, I'm using Compaq Presario V3000 which used the same graphic accelerator with the one you using. I've tried several distro, non of them work perfectly... i'm still finding way to configure the sound, graphic and Wifi.. how's your progress??
