Hello, again, ilia.


I already followed that same suggestion, that someone, in that forum 
that I linked to, made 
(http://trisquel.info/en/forum/nouveau-mi-eq-overflowing#comment-43713) 
and tried all sorts of different kernels - including the 3.11.3-gnu one 
- with no results.

The best thing that I could get was the boot splash screen with kernel 
3.4.64-gnu1, and then a black screen.

Different kernels didn't solve the problem, and the message that 
appeared in the Xorg log, with the best trial that I mentioned, was 
still the same that I initially reported in that forum.

I, unfortunately, ended up having to revert to the proprietary drivers, 
and lost my patience to try anything else... I managed to find a version 
of a distro where I can get the card to work, with no problems - so I'll 
stick to that, for the time being.

I may try this free driver again, in the future. But, for now, I have an 
urgency in having this computer functional.


Thank you very much, all of you, for your help and your efforts, and 
good luck with your project.
