I have experience of it, not to mention you will very good experience in frustration and wastage of precious time if you are inclined on using them. I have been using GNU/Linux exclusively for a decade now and your best bet is either Open-Source/Free drivers or no drivers at all. > If there is no fix, I was > thinking of trying out Trisquel.

Except GNU endorsed distros, most will use proprietary drivers if no drivers exist for your graphics card. Drivzers may or may not exist for your card but to know that we need to see the output of "lspci | grep VGA" which I asked few days ago. that will be the first step in solving your problem -- http://uttre.wordpress.com/ https://lispmachine.wordpress.com/2012/06/28/c-new-operator/ _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
