So on my harddrive at the moment I have a Ubuntu 11.10 partition. Problem is that it really just doens't like my laptop. I might try reinstalling but 11.10 just doesn't seem to work right to me. The main problem is that ATi's drivers just don't work with it and I have an ATi Mobility Radeon HD5650 graphics card. This means that I can't get a decent set up for it.
Does anybody have a recommendation for another relatively easy to configure Linux distro that I could get GNOME 3 and GNOME 2.x for (possibly at the same time) and somehow make my graphics card work with it? My laptop is a Sony Vaio E-Series btw which effects things slightly (I can't actually use the latest drivers for some reason so I'm stuck on the one Sony has available which are a couple of years old)
