  1. is there any hope for support for my older sis video, built into my laptop ( an acer 5002 wlmi) I am happy using the distro I am using but due to lack of support I am stuck using it as none of the newer distros apparenty support it.
    I use linux mint on several other computers as I really like the printer support ( among other things)

    Thanks
    Dan
