Would like to support Trisquel. I don't know enough about Linux or distributions to know how I can help (I'm a C/C++/assembly software developer).
Some background: I believe in Trisquel. I want to support it. I use it on my desktop for MOST computing. I would use it on my laptop all the time even if I could only get even backup drivers to work supporting my laptop's full 1600x1200 resolution, but no matter what I've tried it only comes up 1024x768 with no other settings / options (Toshiba laptop). I could live without everything else support, but not the screen. (And FWIW, even the proprietary AMD driver doesn't work properly on this laptop. If I want to be able to switch back to the laptop's display, I have to boot up using only the laptop's display, and THEN plug in my HDMI cable to use my external monitor (or both). Horrible closed-source drivers :-( ... ). I would love to use Trisquel for all my computing. I completely fell in love with Trisquel 5.0. Don't like Trisquel 5.5 at all because of GNOME 3 and the fallback mode. But more importantly than that, I need some features its kernel doesn't support (which are really only accelerated AMD graphics as these are integrated into my motherboards). Right now I use Trisquel 5.0 for 90% of desktop use. And I have no choice but to use Ubuntu on my laptop 100% of the time. What can I do to help Trisquel? If there's a way I can help get the recently released AMD open-source drivers working ... point me in the right direction and I'll go for it. Best regards, Rick C.
