I'm not sure what causes this, but the answer might be updating the kernel. If it is a driver problem, there are chances it has been resolved in later version of the kernel. To update the kernel you can use the repository by jxself. Why exactly didn't Trisquel 6 work? What happened when

The Trisquel developers basically copy from Ubuntu's repositories the free packages, modify some of them to make them not recommend proprietary software, and from this reservoir of software, build and customize the default system. In this process, Ubuntu's default system doest not intervene
