I see, thank you.
>Have you tried this graphics card with other distros …
Tails, very probably Mint, probably Fedora, possibly Suse, Xubuntu, Ubuntu.
(I'm sure that I've used those distros, but I don't remember at which point I
bought this computer (with graphics card) or when I bought this wide
monitor.)
>… and/or earlier version of Trisquel?
Trisquel 7 and one earlier Trisquel.
>Did you have better results with any of those?
Yes. Tails does a crisp 1680 × 1050 px out of the box, and I think all
other non-Tails that I've used this hardware with did the same.
Trisquel 7 distorts the x × y ratio so that a circle looks like an
ellipsis. This is the worst and only Trisquel 7 does this; never tried 8.
I don't remember what the earlier Trisquel did, but it must have been either
a nice 1680 × 1050 px, or the same as Trisquel 9. (Trisquel 9 leaves
unused black bars at the left and right edges of the screen instead of a
Trisquel-7-style skewed ratio stretching over the whole screen; it's not
crisp because it will only do a vertical resolution of 1024 px instead of
the native 1050 px.)
If there is no software solution, I can live with the way Trisquel 9 handles
it, and I might try to get a decent graphics card. Thank you.
