Howto: Fix an Acer Aspire 1410 Netbook Graphics
Recently my brother decided to give Linux a try, I pointed him at Linux Mint 14 (Cinnamon flavoured). He found it simple and perfect for his needs but the graphics were hopelessly slow and major problem. The Intel 4500MHD graphics were awful using the Gallium driver it had defaulted to.
A quick Google wasn't entirely helpful until I found : https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/graphics-drivers?field.series_filter=precise
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
A quick reboot and the graphics performance was very much improved.
