[Trisquel-users] Making the radeon kernel module work again

[jason]

Thanks to Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli for his patch [0] to make the radeon kernel  
module work again in free distros and not just fall over and die when the  
proprietary firmware isn't there. I've made these changes to Linux-libre  
version 4.1.4 in my APT repository. If you have such a card you may want to  
look into this in order to have proper screen resolution, etc. I've talked to  
quidam about getting it into the Trisquel kernel. Hopefully that will be part  
of Trisquel 7.1.

In the meantime, information about using the repository can be found at
