About your graphics card and 3D acceleration: http://listas.trisquel.info/pipermail/trisquel-users/2010-March/000923.html I'm guessing the proprietary ATI driver just gets confused since it relies on the non-free blobs in the linux kernel. Since trisquel uses the linux-libre kernel (deblobbed) there's no _functional_ advantage in using the proprietary driver. About the mouse not working; If you haven't specified anything in xorg.conf I'm not sure how to fix that problem, but if you have you might get it working again by removing the lines related to pointing device. By removing the lines you're letting Xorg auto-detect devices. -Øyvind J.
