I have the same problem unfortunately

...and the screen resolution (ati radeon crap) limited to the bios resolution  
(1024*768) in my case ughh...

I wonder if I can play http://worldoftanks.eu/ with wine in trisquel.
and if I can play http://warthunder.com/en/ which is a Linux game.
thanks for the support that has given me.

where can I find non proprietary graphic drivers for amd and nvidia?
On their respective websites.

Don't, though. Please, just don't.

Re: [Trisquel-users] graphic driver ?

[manhoso99]

I do not want to install support.
just wanted to know it is possible to play in trisquel or not.
in the respective site have proprietary drives .
I just wondered if there drives non proprietary without firmware etc..
but thanks anyway.

I'm not sure why a website for a video game, libre or not, would link to any  
graphics drivers. It's not typically something you have to worry about. Even  
in the case of Windows, computers shipped with it are typically also shipped  
with whatever drivers are needed for the hardware that is a part of the  
computer (e.g. the GPU).


You seem to be under some sort of impression that the driver is directly  
connected to the game, which it isn't. Modern games don't connect to GPUs at  
that low of a level, and basically, anything natively compiled for GNU/Linux  
will run. The only question is whether or not it will run well, which  
partially depends on whether or not your GPU's hardware acceleration features  
can be used, though there are some other aspects. The easiest way to tell is  
to just run the game and see what happens.


Of course, you shouldn't run proprietary software games, but this applies  
just as much to libre software games.

These drivers are free, but they need nonfree firmware.

GNU/Linux systems not aimed at power users, like Trisquel, tend to have all  
libre drivers and firmware installed by default. So if you don't have it in  
Trisquel's default install (excluding net install, of course), there probably  
isn't a libre driver available.


In the case of AMD and Nvidia GPUs: AMD GPUs are all supported by the Radeon  
driver, and Nvidia GPUs by the Nouveau driver. Radeon doesn't work fully  
without proprietary firmware blobs (you won't get 3-D acceleration, in  
particular). Nouveau support for cards varies quite a bit (it is a result of  
reverse-engineering, after all), and if a card you have doesn't work with  
Nouveau, or is lacking features, upgrading the kernel can often help. This  
external repository maintained by jxself can help you get the latest version  
of Linux-libre, if you want to try that:

[Trisquel-users] graphic driver ?

[manhoso99]

well I am new at this.
where can I find non proprietary graphic drivers for amd and nvidia?
open source graphic drivers are non proprietary?

Re: [Trisquel-users] graphic driver ?

[lloyd]

For Nvidia, open a terminal and type:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

For amd I'm not sure, sorry.
