Intel Gma 500 Driver Linux Mint

That's the infamous Poulsbo graphics. My netbook has the similar Intel Cedarview graphics chipset.

These were a couple of those rare cases where Intel outsourced the graphics chip. And the mfr (PowerVR) has always refused to release the source code.

Hence there is no 3D hardware accelerated video and it's extremely unlikely there will ever be. The odds are between slim and zero. Now let's see what you have exactly. Copy/paste this into the terminal and copy/paste the text output back here. Code: inxi -Fxz And I hope like hell you didn't install the Cinnamon version.

Install driver for GMA500 built in display (Netbook) My Dell Mini 1210 netbook is using the Intel GMA500 built in display, which has a poor driver support on Linux.

It requires 3D hardware acceleration just by itself. I booted a live boot iso of Mint Cinnamon from a USB stick once just for a laugh. Not only was Cinnamon running in software rendering model, it was using 47-48% of the CPU with no apps running. Just Cinnamon. I was lucky because I knew what to expect and my netbook is just for running around with. I've seen many threads started by Poulsbo/Cedarview users who thought they were going to be able to play big 1080p video files, and they won't do that satisfactorily.

Bottom line is there are no drivers other than the one you have and there aren't going to be any. Any references you may find on the web to Poulsbo/Cedarview linux drivers are out of date and hence won't work, didn't work that well anyway, and what they did was moved into the Linux kernel years ago. Hence they're useless. If you do have Cinnamon (or KDE) they're too much for your hardware.

Don't just install another desktop environment. That'lll screw up things more. I'd advise a clean reinstall of Mint Xfce after backing up your data of course. When you do, disable ALL desktop compositing. Basically, just forget eye candy on that hardware. The easiest way to do that in Xfce is settings > desktop settings > window manager. By default the item selected in the popup window is 'Xfwm + Compositing'.

Click that and change it to 'Xfwm4'. If you want to play videos from files I'd recommend installing a good GUI front end for mplayer, which is about the best performing, light media player I know of. I use SMplayer on my laptop, which does have decently supported video, and Gnome Mplayer on my netbook. It doesn't have the features of SMplayer but it's bery light anf fast and works a LOT better in something like a Poulsbo/Cedarview netbook. The package name is gnome-mplayer and it's in the repos.

You can get better performance using mplayer from the termiinal but I had enough terminal usage in the 80s. I'm not afraid of CLI but I wouldn't play videos that way.

Couldn't have asked for a more detailed answer and apparently i made a lot of mistakes.
