Re: [Trisquel-users] Free (as in freedom) drivers for GPUs GEFORCE 7300GT and AMD Radeon HD 4650

I tested much GPUs with free software (only). All >> "ALL" ! AMD/ATI GPUs need non-free firmware data blob, it is not an runnable, just data, but trully non-free. This blob is about 2kb or about 70 lines of hex code in old graphics cards, today (for new cards) is about 500kb or even more, it

I thought it seems to be multiple issues and appears way above my pay grade although if it was me, I might choose to play around with it till I broke it completely. Thank God it usually all comes out in the wash with a fresh install! Heh, heh.

I could only find: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/install-trisquel-windows-dual-boot-0 which would be useful if you need to shrink an existing Windows to create free space for Trisquel. This is really old but still helpful if the first link worked:

Why do not you simply follow the normal procedure for installation?. 40 GB (1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes) is more than enough. I typically install my virtual machines with Debian and LXDE in 10 GB virtual disks and there is plenty of space left.

For Nvidia cards you can view Nouveau's (free-software Nvidia driver) feature matrix : https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix/ The 7300GT is classified as an NV40, which is supported. You can see which features are available by looking at its corresponding column.

The thing I most object to about that operation is its name and the name of the OS they include. Purism and PureOS. If there's one thing the Free Software Foundation, RMS, Trisquel, et al have been accused of it's "Purism" and fair enough. There are many defensible, desirable, worthwhile
