Hi all
I have an asus laptop (intel i3 64bit 3GB ram) that I would like to use when I cant get onto my main box (back trouble lol) unfortunatly although I can ssh -Y into trisquel and use the programs on my main box remotly when using non free distros, I cannot play any videos stored on my main machine (even though my router will handle 10MB/s wireless easily) (I even tried adding a ssd to try and improve performance). I dont want to take the route of adding proprietry firmware to get the wireless working (not that I know how to do this either lol), but cant think of any other ideas on how to get trisquel working on this laptop in this location (ethernet is not an option as my bedroom is too far from the router)
all ideas welcome

Can you determine where the issue lies more specifically?
If you connect it to the ethernet directly for instance can you play the videos?
Do you know if this this an Intel graphics chipset, NVIDIA, ATI, or something else? How old is the laptop?
Sounds like it might be the video chipset. You might be able to just disable that and use the CPU instead for video decoding if the system is fast enough. Or it could be that the system is using the CPU and it isn't sufficient for the decoding.
Thanks chris
the last distro I tried using was mint 14 (ubuntu 12.10 base) I belive that the desktop effects are all passed through the main cpu (I dont know about the graphics though) but it is somewhere to start looking, perhaps I will try pure debian next and see what that works like (wireless firmware permitting).
the laptop is an asus K52F series (less than 1 year old)
the vga controler is "intel core processer integrated graphics controler" which I think means that the graphics are integrated with the cpu?
Thanks again

The CPU has the graphics integrated. Hard to tell for sure although if the system is that new the CPU should probably be able to handle it. The Intel graphics are also well supported. It could be it is still too new or just not working properly. It is probably worth connecting the ethernet. Streaming wireless any kind of distance can be problematic depending on setup. I'd definitely connect it with an ethernet if at all possible and go from there.
