I am new to GNU/Linux. Been using Ubuntu ( until they put amazon-spyware in it ) Then went to Linux Mint and whike surfing and reading about GNU en Linux i found Trisquel. I very much like the idea of the FSF and watched some youtubevids where R Stallman is explaining his thoughts. He's absolutly right.
But, my computer is working as hell because Trisquel has , i think, no driver for my NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT. I have been reading and searching yesterday almost the whole day ( it were the posting of Cyberhawk that lead me to de vids of R. Stallman ( THX !! ) but have not found a solution.
As i 'm at this point a rather noob on GNU/Linux, all help would be appreciated.
I read something about "nouveau" but could not figure out if/where it is, how to get it etc.
O and i have Trisquel 6.0 installed.
enter this in terminal and put here the output
lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G94 [GeForce 9600 GT] (rev a1)
CPU: Intel Pentium (R) DUAL CPU E2180

H-node (www.h-node.org) is a database project which aims to collect information about various kind of hardware like printers, scanners, webcams, laptop models and internal parts of laptops and desktop computers like wifi and video cards.
H-node seems to have your video card reported as compatible with Trisquel 5.5:
(http://h-node.org/videocards/view/en/614/NVIDIA-Corporation-G94--GeForce-9600-GT---rev-a1-)
Can you give the output of "lspci -nnk" command (without the quotes) after you run it on the terminal? If the ID numbers you get are the same as (10de:0622) then your device is the same which can be found in h-node and it should work with Trisquel 5.5.
Can you test your laptop with Trisquel 5.5?
you may try this:
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel
and than reboot your system
nothing happened. The terminal said it was already installed.
Pakketlijsten worden ingelezen... Klaar
Boom van vereisten wordt opgebouwd
De status informatie wordt gelezen... Klaar
xserver-xorg-video-intel is reeds de nieuwste versie.
0 pakketten opgewaardeerd, 0 pakketten nieuw geïnstalleerd, 0 te verwijderen en 0 niet opgewaardeerd.
Now the cable of my monitor(screen) is plugged in de NVIDIAcard. If i plug it in the motherboard's own chip, the monitor does not work.
Other suggestions ???
is there an "easy" way to install this ? I already told you im very new in this. I have trisquel 6 installed. So, what should i do now ? Trisquel uses de 3.2 linux Kernel. In the link they talk about linux kernel 3.8.. Can someone help ? I'm eager to learn, but i'm baffled away with all those things i read on this page: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/

if you need to update your kernel, you can use the repository by jxself.
What you need to type into the terminal to do that (Each line has to be typed in seperately, don't copy multiple lines of commands at once):
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
(put in your password obviously)
add following line to the file in the very end:
deb http://jxself.org/repo/freesh/ freesh main
now press Ctrl+X, confirm saving the file by pressing Y (nano will tell you to do that as well). Now you have added a new repository for the system to install software from. Following commands finalize the process. Remember, one line at a time:
wget http://jxself.org/repo/freesh/archive-key.asc
sudo apt-key add archive-key.asc
sudo aptitude update
Now you can install the new kernel (which is one of the few things in GNU/Linux that require a restart after installation to work). If you feel uncomfortable in the terminal, execute "synaptic" and search for "linux-libre32" (if you run a 64-Bit version of Trisquel, you need linux-libre64 instead). Install latest version.
Alternatively you can type into terminal:
sudo aptitude install linux-libre32
For 64-Bit Trisquel it is of course linux-libre64 again.
Thanx Cyberhawk.
Thats for the kernel.
Nvidia cards are widely used, so i presume that there will be users of Trisquel with nividia.
When i go to http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Source/, i really dont know what to do. Can someone explain step by step ?
