The h node listing about graphic cards does not tell for sure that a card can
run on non free software?
Graphic cards listed on

A few of us put some info about this in the wiki:

I hope that we got it right. Please let us know if not.
I used a wrong terminology. Shall I call it free software hardware?
If you replace its nonfree VGA BIOS and revise the name to not use a
noun + noun construction, then yes.
If you call it hardware working with a free operating system, then
it's completely clear what is ok and what isn't. (E.g. AMD cards
aren't, while NVIDIA cards that ThinkPenguin sells are ok,
There is no full listing of nouveau free software pci e graphic cards? I
could not find a graphic card on thinkpenguin.
It's not an exhaustive list but what users like you and me submit there.

I could not find a graphic card on thinkpenguin.
It's under Acessories Other Products, the GeForce 8400GS.
If I do not, tell me what it is? I thought the h node was a listing of free
hardware.
If it is correct that the h node amd cards listing is incorrect, then what
pci e cards are free hardware supporting 3d acceleration?
What nvidia pci e graphic cards with 3d acceleration are free hardware? Is it
not good to use a nvidia graphic card on an amd mainboard?
None are free hardware that you can study, share/modify designs of and
manufacture. h-node lists devices that work with a fully free
operating system and ones that do not.

Nvidia doesn't support libre software, but the Nouveau project has succeeded
at reverse-engineering a lot of Nvidia's video cards. For example, Think
Penguin sells an (old model) Nvidia card that works perfectly with Nouveau.
It's not as good a situation as Intel's integrated GPUs, but it's
On h node if you select amd ati, pci e, and works with 3d acceleration, you
get radeon hd 4870, 6450, 7450, 8450, radeon r5 230.
Cards with these chipsets come in different brands and versions. Fx various
memory sizes. You get a free hardware amd ati graphic card with 3d acc no

All of these reports are incorrect, people either think that llvmpipe
provides GPU acceleration (it uses the CPU instead) or use the nonfree
firmware.
Find a way to improve h-node.org documentation to prevent such mistakes?

Thanks. I cannot get a 3d acceleration supporting pci e graphic card that is
free hardware? Does fsf know their h node info on graphic cards is incorrect?
Do you know what free hardware is? Some NVIDIA PCIe cards have 3d
acceleration with Nouveau working with Trisquel.

I notified them about this.
Nvidia generally has better GNU/Linux support and many of their cards can do
3D acceleration with free drivers.
I really want an Nvidia GTX 970 based card (ASUS or MSI) in the near future
and hopefully a future update can bring free driver support like my current
GT 430.
