Direct3D is not relevant. It is not hardware, it is a software interface to your 3D graphics hardware. FlightGear doesn't use it, so it won't help you. You need to find the manufacturer of the graphics chip in your computer. The "good" ones are ATI and NVIDIA, but companies like Intel and S3 also make embedded graphics chipsets with OpenGL support (I don't know if they work well with FlightGear or not). Usually you can figure this out from the graphics control panel. In general, 3D software and laptops still don't mix well unless you know what you want and are careful with purchasing. Configuring a desktop machine is often easier and cheaper (a very solid NVIDIA card costs less than $50US these days and will run FlightGear very well).
