• Trisquel 6.0
• Linux-libre kernel 3.2.0-49-generic, 3.10.5-gnu
• xserver 1.11.4
• mesa 9.1.6
• nouveau 1.0.9
• No proprietary firmware used.

The Live installation image of Trisquel 6.0 would not login to its desktop environment. Almost everything worked as expected when using netinstall instead (it downloads the latest kernel and driver). Compiz and OPENGL does not work with mesa 9.2 and 9.3 by the time of August 2013.

Audio dropouts cause crackling noise from time to time, especially with Chromium scrollbar movement. Such dropouts do not occur with Intel HD Graphic and AMD + vesa driver. The dropouts of VLC can be alleviated by passing the audio via JACK. System-wide dropouts can be alleviated by changing Pulseaudio settings, stated below.

$ sudo gedit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf

Change the following settings:

; lock-memory = yes
; realtime-scheduling = yes
; realtime-priority = 5

into:

lock-memory = yes
realtime-scheduling = yes
realtime-priority = 10

Do not turn on High priority in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf . Do not turn on JACK unless using VLC.

VGA compatible controller: only screen resolutions 640x480 (4:3), 800x600 (4:3), and 1024x768 (4:3) [p](Screen will not be detected)
