Late reply to GPU & X-config problems

After I spent over a month, unsuccessfully trying to solve my "suspend" and 3squel Radeon graphic driver problems by first following the suggestion to upgrade to 5.3 kernel, and finally also purchasing a new GPU card as hinted here, I had to recover the lost time, hence neglecting to post my own update about my results of my experimentation with graphic drivers and boards, for which I sincerely apologize only now. I hope, you can forgive me for that, especially the user who goes by the name, Magic Banana, and who was then kind enough to engage with me in the discourse at the time!
Anyhow, as mentioned above upgrading to the new kernel 5.3 did not solve the problem. I then purchased ASUS GeForce GT 710 1GB GDDR5 HDMI VGA DVI Graphics Card (GT710-SL-1GD5-BRK), reinstalled my Trisquel 9.0, upgraded the kernel, only to find out that all my efforts had been in vain. If it's any consolidation to the Trisquel developers, I should also mention, that the same ASUS GeForce GT 710 HDMI VGA DVI Graphics Card also failed then with Ubuntu 20.04. So I reverted back to my originally installed AMD Inc. RV710 [Radeon HD 4350/4550], and indeed switched to Ubuntu 20.04 rather than Trisquel on the offending box. I do wish to mention, that at the same time I installed 3squel on my Mac Mini, where it worked flawlessly until recently, when for some reason OS updates as well as attempts to download new software from Trisquel repositories. Today, I have also published a different post dubbed "Faliling to update 3quel OS & downloading software" here on this forum.
Thank you in advance for any possible new news on the first issue related to the "suspend" and 3squel Radeon graphic driver problems, and explained in my year old posts:
- How to solve Graphic card configuration problems on Trisquel GNU/Linux
- X configuration problems prevent Trisyuel to wake up Monitor
At the same time I wish you all happy holidays and a happy New Year!
Cheers!
Heh, I could only use hibernate on trisquel when I used trisquel 7, back during, the kernel that shipped with it.
Once I upgraded it to something else, including jxself.org's repo. trisquel couldn't hibernate ever again...
Although, you speak of suspend not working though... That is really surprising.
I don't know what happened since I stopped using Trisquel, but best wishes on figuring out what happened.
Also, I think this is probably ubuntu's fault.
I still wonder why Trisquel isn't based on debian but then does a bunch of graphical changes to make it user friendly, like ubuntu, so that it has debian's security, not ubuntu's...
;)
Either way, happy holidays to to you and everyone else here too.
Peace all!

I have a GeForce GT 710 too. I don't use suspend so I can't judge whether it works or not. With Trisquel 9.0, I have another problem: regularly (can happen several times a day, but may not happen for two weeks), there is a general protection fault in the Xorg process, and the computer is frozen (sometimes not completely, but most often it is).
I could not find any solution and I finally (after 1 year) installed Debian 11, with mate, with which this problem does no occur. Debian has the advantage over Ubuntu that as long as you stick to the main repository only, it does not install non-free software. You could try installing Debian on some spare space on your disk if you have (I resized my file system to do that and reduced the logical volume, it was simple to do).
You could also try with Trisquel 10.0 in case it solves the issue. I plan to install Trisquel 10.0 over the logical volume that now still holds my Trisquel 9.0 installation and try to see if my previous problem still occurs or not (I created another logical volume for Debian, I can select at boot which one to use).
Avron, there are more problems with GeForce GT 710 card, one of them is also that it looks the framebuffer gets corrupted and eventually freezes the system. Nevertheless, I love Trisquel and even more the foundation on which it is built, which BTW, is just as sound and anti non-free software, if not more, as you claim Debian is. It is encouraging to see more of us use it than what was my impression a year ago, when I discovered it. Let's hope it's popularity will grow large!
