Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 8 install didn't detect my monitor, gave wrong resolution.

If you run "cd ~/" you will compile the driver in your home directory. If you  
want to compile it somewhere else then just cd to that directory instead. To  
build in home directory just remove this text "#or whatever directory you  
want to use for this build".

The instructions will compile and install the sis driver that is missing from  
Trisquel 8 (but appears in older versions of Trisquel), so once installed  
your monitor should be recognized. You can always blacklist the driver at  
boot if it causes problems and then you can use the vesa driver instead  
(which is probably what you are using now as the sis graphics package is  
missing from your system).
