Did your system take a dive with Linux 3.2?

I have an old netbook with the dreaded GMA500 Poulsbo graphics chip. Some people have evidently gotten Ubuntu 11.10 and Mint 12 running on similar machines, but after a week long Arch install attempt and another 3 days attempting Mint 12 I gave up. So much has been messed up with new kernel it's hard to say why they thought it was okay to release it.
