Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 8 - Graphic Card Radeon HD

Non-free firmware won't fix your problems and may be security  
vulnerabilities. Your notebook's graphics card is much older (at least 6~7  
years older) than the non-free firmware packages you installed, so I'm afraid  
they can't address any problem that is relevant to your very old GPU. I  
remembered that I purchased an AMD HD4xxx series card in 2009 summer and used  
it to play some video games. The mobile version should have been released at  
almost the same time.

Go to your notebook's BIOS and see whether you can disable the discrete  
graphics card. If there is such options as "Integrated", then choose it. If  
you can't disable the discrete graphics, I recommend that you sell your  
current notebook and purchase one with only Intel's integrated graphics. For  
example, X200 or T400s is much better (and inexpensive now).
