Test done in August 2013. Worked out-of-the-box with the LiveCD/DVD of gNewSense 3.0 and Trisquel 6.0. The GRUB boot time interface glitch out after installation in Trisquel. Worked with nouveau 1.0.9.

Worked with the newer linux-libre kernels (with some GRUB display glitches) from the following PPAs:

• https://launchpad.net/~linux-libre/+archive/ppa/ (3.8.x-gnu)
• http://jxself.org/linux-libre/ (3.10.x-gnu)
