[Trisquel-users] Graphics

[webmaster]

I have used Trisquel (6.0) for a few days now, but have some problems with  
the graphics. I have a NVIDIA-card and I'm using the nouveau drivers. The  
resolution is optimal for my monitor, but there is no acceleration.

I couldn't even start GNOME - after typing my username and password, it  
crashed and I was back at the login screen again. By installing the  
Mini-version and looking around in the package manager, I eventually found  
out that the package "libgl1-mesa-dri" (probably in combination with compiz  
as window manager) was causing the problem.

Another graphic related problem occurs a few seconds after I select Trisquel  
from the GRUB-menu - the whole screen gets filled with different colors (hard  
to explain), but looks fine again when the desktop manager starts. Maybe not  
a big problem, but just looks awful.

Is there something I can about this, or is the drivers included with this  
distro just to old? I used Debian before, and everthing worked fine there  
(and yes, I stayed away from the non-free repos).
