Live CDs are meant to tell you if your hardware is properly compatible, so if it does not load up properly in live session, avoid that version. If you want a gentoo based distro, try Sabayon http://www.sabayonlinux.org/ In my Centrino 1.7 GHz. Core Uno, 256 MB RAM, I was able to run a 3D desktop too using berryl. All out of the box. Check out Hardware Compatibility Lists HCLs for your ati radeon chip. By now, all new distros should detect your card. -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux !
