FWIW: I've not had such problems with OpenSuSE. I don't know if it'd work with your hardware, but I've had good luck with it on several machines since about version 6.4. I'm running 10.0 now. There are always a few nits with each version. The current one (with 10.2) is that you need to downgrade the OpenMotif version to avoid one bug, plus they seem to forget a header file or two which you need to get Xastir compiled. All of this is explained in the Wiki or the README/INSTALL files. The above is just another data point in case you're really thinking about switching OS versions. Myself I tend to stick with a version and work out the bugs rather than switch and adopt a whole new set of problems.
