If the ATI driver in Xorg doesn't work for that chipset, you might want 
to try the Xvesa server instead.  Hopefully, the chipset isn't so old 
that it predates VESA standards! :)

If you want something in the Ubuntu family, Lubuntu might be a good 
choice for something ligher-weight than Mint or Ubuntu.  (It uses the 
LXDE desktop.)
