I have been forced to use Ubuntu on my Toshiba notebook because Trisquel won't recognize its graphics card (AMD A8-3500M based).

When I boot from CD it comes up to a command line. Ctrl+Alt+F7 reveals this text: "Starting load fallback graphics devices [fail]"

Can anybody point me in a direction to get started? I do not mind installing a non-free driver if that's the only choice to get it to work with Trisquel. However, I would prefer to use a free driver that supports its native resolution of 1600x900.

What do I need to look at to begin diagnosing and fixing?

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks!

Best regards,
Rick C. Hodgin
