Hello
I have a problem after installing the distribution did not find the free graphics card works I know that trisquel does not support closed programs, but now I can not use the system without proving the free graphics card
Where can I find the solution to install?
Do you mean that your graphics card doesn't work without non-free driver and/or firmware? If so, you won't find "solutions" here.
The card supports free card (open source)
I mean the open source graphics card how do I install?
Currently the screen resolution is 640 x 480
Where to find the solution for the definition of open source carat screen

Give us the output of the following:
lspci -nnk | grep VGA
The card I have closed source I know that I just want to install an open source card
This is the output of the matter
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Cedar [Radeon HD 5000/6000/7350/8350 Series] [1002:68f9]

You are out of luck. Unfortunately to my knowledge ATI gpus require proprietary firmware in order to work properly (yes, even to display the correct video resolution).
Consider (if you are able to do so) selling your hardware and buying some freedom compatible one. This website can help you -> https://h-node.org/
I know there are free computers unfortunately I can't buy online despite the cheap hardware prices (for some reason)
I just want to use Triskoll with an open source card
I used Linux Mint in the past and got it with an open source card automatically
Is there any solution ? For full-screen resolution, I install the repository PPA
It seems that you are using a desktop computer, as I don't see "Mobility" in your graphics card's description. If your desktop computer is Intel based and has integrated graphics (and your motherboard has video output interfaces), then simply remove the ATI/AMD discrete graphics card and everything will be okay.
How to disable it from the BIOS
use AMD
AMD's integrated graphics is as bad as its discrete graphics. So either purchase one Nvidia discrete graphics card or replace your motherboard and CPU with Intel ones.
For example, the output should be something that looks like:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) [8086:2a02] (rev 0c)
We need to know (at very least) the type of your graphics card before we could give any suggestion.
I'm pretty sure that Trisquel 8 has the free driver package here: https://mirror.fsf.org/trisquel/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-ati/?C=M;O=D
Should be a simple matter of:
$ sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-radeon
I don't have an AMD system with Trisquel to try it, but radeon is the free driver for the Cedar Radeon HD 5000/6000/7350/8350 Series from what I've read.
Thank you man, but I want to install an open source trisquel card
I do not want to use AMD
I said earlier that I was using Linux Mint with embedded open source graphics
I want to do that with trisquel (Use the built-in open source graphics card)
The radeon driver is free software. It's in the Trisquel repository. You should be able to use the graphics card you have if you install the correct free driver.
I can't find my graphics card
AMD Radeon HD 5450
Let's find out what kernel version you are running. Give us the output of:
$ uname -r

The driver is free, the firmware is not, and you still need that one loaded in your kernel in order to have video acceleration.. or am I missing something? Has AMD freed their ultra-proprietary junk? If I am correct, the video card, even with the free driver will still be useless, unless you use it to play tetris..
Just like the situation of most WLAN cards (except Atheros). We have free/libre drivers but not free/libre firmware. Therefore I suggest every ATI/AMD graphics (be it integrated or discrete) victim use nVidia cards (up to Maxwell GM1xx series) instead.

I don't know, h-node and others say you can run old Radeon cards on free software. People on this forum seem to be unable. I should pull my old 6 core opteron out of mothballs and find a Radeon card and see what I can figure out.
Several years ago, when I obtained my Ph.D., I built a desktop workstation (now dismantled) initially using an ATI/AMD graphics card, and it never correctly recognized the resolution of the LCD no matter what we tried.
The problem is that how to define the phrase "run on free software". If it just means that you can see something on the display, then you can say that Radeon cards can (be) run on free software.
