Thoughts on- and questions regarding Trisquel Mini on MacBookPro9,1
So I am currently running Trisquel Mini live from the DVD and it is seemingly working allright.
There are a couple of things that immediately ain't working though.
1. Wi-fi. Are there any solutions to this other than buying the 44 usd wi-fi usb thing from think penguin?
2. The whole "upper section" of the keyboard (the strip of keys with light dimming etc, the "fn-buttons" is not working for me.
Also:
Where can I find settings for display? Like resolution, dimming lights etc. I am new to all of this :)
Edit: When I open Monitor Settings I am receiving a stop sign and the message: "Unable to get monitor information".
The screen brightness must be adjusted manually.

Unable to get monitor information, install x11-xserver-utils.

Where shall I write this stuff? In XTerm?
Cheers
You can type the commands in any terminal window. XTerm should do.
Thanks, also, I figured I had to type gmux instead of intel, I|m good now :)
Worked like a charm, I also used your other comments about setting startup-backlight.
Thanks for everyhting! :)
There's a $25 one,

but no, your WiFi card will not work without proprietary firmware.
I'm not too familiar with LXDE (the desktop environment for Trisquel Mini) but you might be able to find what you're looking for under "System Tools."
It costs 25 usd for you? That's wierd...
Anyway, thanks for taking time :)
Which one of the four System Tools are you referring to? :)
You really don't see $25 at the link I gave?
I was referring to whatever you see under "System Tools" in the menu. There should be a tools for whatever you're trying to achieve. Hopefully someone more familiar with LXDE than I will come by and be able to give you more specific advice.
I found with Trisquel 8 on my ThinkPad X60 that some issues with the live image went away after installation. It might be worth installing first before you spend too much time banging your head.
No, I really don't, lol :p
Hmm... interesting, there might be differences in experience on the "live-dvd-trial" and the real deal?
