Hi everyone!
I've just discovered this distro and tried it out, and I was amazed as to how
it was possible for my computer to make everything that I wanted it to
(connect to my router through a wifi connection, play mp3 files, watch flash
videos on the Internet etc) with a fully Free Distribution! I've always been
a great Free Software enthusiast, but thought this kind of distros would be
impossible to achieve, because of firmware and the likes, but I was very
happy to discover I was wrong.
I was most happy to see my computer doing everything that I wanted it to,
with this distro, but, at the end, I encountered a rather annoying bug that
made me think twice about adopting it.
The bug I have is that, when I shut down the computer, I get a *lot* of error
messages, similar to the ones that are described here. (Something about the
"radeon" driver failing to "bind" and "allocate".) This messages are in great
number and the succession lasts for about two minutes, or so, until they
finally end and the computer shuts down.
I've tried making the same fix that other people did when they had this kind
of messages at boot up, with another version of Trisquel - that was to delete
the "quiet splash" option in the GRUB kernel line - but, although I don't
have a splash screen any more, the problem was not solved.
Does anyone here know what can I do to solve this problem?
I would be *so* *happy* if I could solve it and was able to, for the first
time ever, use a fully Free distro on my computer.
The Trisquel version I'm using is the 64-bit version of the latest build,
with LXDE (5.5 Brigantia, Mini).
And I don't know if it helps to solve it or not, but the computer I'm talking
about is a 5-year-old laptop with an ATI graphics card.
