Comment 12 for bug 475428

I have tried another FOSS distro -- Trisquel 4.5 in my LT3114, and it does not exhibit the font corruption bug, no matter what I do, so it looks like the driver included in the Trisquel 4.5 distro (also FOSS) does not use the same defective code as is included with Ubuntu. I suggest someone should try the ATI driver from Trisquel (64 bit, as that is what I am using in my LT3114s) with the rest of the Ubuntu distro, to see if the driver from Trisquel solves this problem, because if it does, that should be an easy substitution. The resulting Ubuntu should "Just Work" again, and I can resume evangelizing for Ubuntu Linux over MicroSloth anything.

Please keep me posted on this. While I am not a coder or a hacker, I hope the above is useful to those who are.

P.S. This message came from my LT3114 running Trisquel.
