I just used Synaptic to upgrade to version 3.8.7; no luck.
Both http://jxself.org/linux-libre/ and https://launchpad.net/~linux-libre
have newer versions; have you tried them?
I do indeed know how to do that. The BIOS setup menu doesn't appear to have
any graphics options in it.
Do you know how to enter the BIOS setup? You need to press some key during
early bootup. And then you get some nice menus that contain something,
possibly even related to this issue...
It's different key for everybody, since that's real handy, isn't it? And then
the actual contents and
Version 3.8.2 generic.
Does that computer of yours have two GPUs? If it does, try disabling the
builtin in the BIOS.
It indeed has a dual-core processor if that's what you mean. How do I disable
the builtin? Is this an operation to perform at startup?

If that's the case I have no idea.
I would be interested to see if this gets adequately solved... I also need
Blender for my work. However, on my own laptop it works super fine (NVidia
card), but I have to install it on a few other older machines and would
prefer to use it under Trisquel... Failing that will mean using a
I got this laptop in 2010 or so; it's not exactly an old machine.
If you have no 3D hardware acceleration Blender will still work. Everything
will be software rendered by the CPU. I've used Blender extensively on a
system with Trisquel 5.5 and a Radeon GPU. Although a bit slow, it's usable.
I still haven't used Trisquel 6.0 on a Radeon system, so I don't
How do you explain that it worked well before, then?
I don't know why it doesn't work now. But it's not because Trisquel 5.5 had
3D acceleration for Radeon, if you are suggesting this.
Might be because of different default configuration or differ preinstalled
packages.
I edited the file with gedit, so I'm out of luck there. I copied the
xorg.conf file from the Live USB I used to install Trisquel, but its contents
are exactly the same as lembas' suggestion.
As for the other commands, although the upgrade fixed some bugs I've had with
my keyboard (for
Please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if you don't have any 3d
Acceleration Blender isn't going to work. At least that's been my experience.
I think that everything blender displays in the project window is rendered
using OpenGL. Again, I could be way off here.
I ought to. Blender worked fine while I had Brigantia.
There's no file radeon.conf. I edited xorg.conf to read as you said, and
still I'm dealing with Blinder instead of Blender (thanks a ton to Gustavo
for that joke). I very much hope you meant replace the existing contents of
the file with that text, because I can't remember the previous text.
You are welcome :-)
If there is no /etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf , create it with the content
lembas told you:
$ sudo sh -c 'echo options radeon modeset=0 /etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf'
And reboot to see if that alone helps.
If not, lembas meant you to edit only the Device section of
Try this /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section Device
Identifier Configured Video Device
Driver radeon
Option AccelMethod XAA
EndSection
Copy this there and then reboot.
So I took your advice, and did a full re-install of Toutatis. I even used a
freshly downloaded ISO image. I loaded my system with all the software I had
before, including Blender, and guess what?
I still don't see anything.
Belenos is a celtic god or something like that, just like Toutatis
(remember Asterix?). Since there is also a xserver-xorg-lts-quantal,
non-renamed in Trisquel, that linux-generic-lts-belenos package probably was
...-lts-quantal upstream (Ubuntu), I believe -- being the 12.10 STS Quantal
It's look like one version of Trisquel 6.5 (based on Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal)
with codename belenos(with Linux-libre 3.5). But now Trisquel is only LTS.
The next Trisquel will be version 8 with another name of mythology god
(probably) in 2014 or 2015. I don't know.
That's literally all the command produces.
And that's exactly what I was after. That is the point of having those
multiple greps there. :)
So, now we know your radeon card is using the correct driver and not for
example vesa. (which would've explained the observed behavior)
If you wish to
After running those two commands and noticing that the former would remove
the trisquel package, I nearly had a heart attack when my system booted
into a bunch of textual warnings (albeit with a mouse) when I rebooted. A
second reboot solved that problem, but I'm still not seeing anything in
$ glxinfo|grep renderer
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x300)
grep renderer alone produces a long delay. You can see the results of glxinfo
at PasteBin.
Very strange. But you can try another desktop environment like XFCE sudo
apt-get install xfce4 or KDE sudo apt-get install triskel. If the bug insist
to exist is better to reinstall Toutatis.
You can explain more about this issue providing screenshots and others
resources to know more
I just installed Xfce. Not only is it a real disappointment (every single
window theme looks ugly), I'm still getting the same problem in Blender. I
don't like KDE; I tried it for a time, and not only was it cumbersome, it's
pretty memory-intensive.
But I really don't want to reinstall

So it's Blinder :-)
Which kernel version are you using? $ uname -r to know that.
I bet you are using the default 3.2; try installing linux-generic-lts-belenos
, which is 3.5... If that doesn't help, try a newer Linux-libre kernel at

Blender (both 2.62 and 2.66) isn't displaying anything even with all display
options turned on. The 3D view shows the greyish background and nothing else;
the default cube, ground plane, camera, and lamp are invisible. When I open a
saved Blender project, I don't see any of the content in it
What a world of help the system details offer me. My graphics card is
unknown.
:) Try
lspci|grep VGA
In a post above, someone asked about the unknown for graphics card in
System Settings-Details. I've noticed that, too, and been curious,
since other distros show it as being an Intel MMX something.
$ lspci|grep VGA
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI
RS880M [Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series]
Ok, how about
lspci -k|grep VGA -A6|grep Kernel -m1
and
glxinfo|grep renderer
You might need to install mesa-utils for the latter command.
All the AMD/ATI graphics card require non-free firmware. Trisquel 5.5 use
Metacity by default (it don't require 3D acceleration). Trisquel 6 use Compiz
by default (it require 3D acceleration). Probably this is the problem.
The solution:
System Settings Window manager and effects change for
Changing to Metacity does not work, not even after restarting.
$ lspci -k|grev VGA -A6|grep Kernel -m1
Kernel driver in use: radeon
That's literally all the command produces. I tried to run each segment by
itself:
$ lspci -k
00:00.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] RS880 Host Bridge
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 1604
See this bug:
https://trisquel.info/en/issues/7862
I tried that and it didn't remove Compiz. So I did:
sudo apt-get remove compiz-* as well and it removed Compiz properly.
