Forget that GeForce 6200 - it's utterly dead and produces a jet black screen
on my current installation of Trisquel 7 in my HP 6430NX. My present
ATI/Radeon 9200 SE graphics card works great if you can tolerate egg-shaped
circles and less-than-native resolution in my SyncMaster 2253BW monitor.
Moving on ... to the farmer's axe ... now I'm awaiting an Intel D865GLC mobo,
which fits the DDR PC3200 unbuffered Non-ECC 2.6V RAM modules that I recently
bought, and has two additional RAM modules of its own. Crucial was quite
helpful in my effort to recycle that pair of 1GB RAM modules.
What's odd about the Radeon 9200 SE graphics card is that xorg.conf hasn't
changed from its original detection of the HP 6430NX's integrated ProSavage
chipset ... unless the mobo passes its signals right through a transparent
add-on Radeon 9200 SE graphics card into the VGA cable that's plugged into
the add-on card and not into the mobo. I tried the Trisquel Live DVD, which
did detect the Radeon 9200 SE graphics card, but didn't offer any way of
changing the resolution from what the mobo's integrated graphics offers.
Just where do I find the specific download of a Trisquel-compatible driver
for this Intel D865GLC mobo's integrated graphics at the Intel.com website ?
I can get close, but the only linux flavors that I see are SUSE, Red Hat,
etc. Which of them are acceptable to the four freedoms of Trisquel ?
