> I know it is a long shot in the dark, but any chance this is caused by a
graphics card mode settings by the kernel? Could you test a Trisquel
Live CD with more verbose output and nomodeset enabled?
It's a good shot in the dark. One side of the issue is the graphics card
which needed newer drivers. Today it is supported by most distros. Nearly two
years ago only Fedora was able to reach the GUI, from all major
distributions. Maybe Ubuntu too, but I don't touch Ubuntu since they have
become the Microsoft of GNU/Linux. The other side was the need for an acer
kernel module to manage some/all of the laptop features. I have no idea of
the licence status of that module.

Now I realise that would have been nice both for me and the whole community.
Two years ago it wasn't that obvious. Now that you have brought that up, it's
obvious. But too late. I have made a poisonous gift to somebody and wait for
my Gluglug X60 to review it.
