You are currently running the Mesa Software Renderer for 3D which makes playing games with 3D (like Tux Racer, Open Arena, etc) very slow. I can not comment on your desktop experience but for 3D you will most likely not be able to play any 3D games on Trisquel. Pure software based renderer

The vendor string itself does not indicate that he is running a VM and his video card is emulated but that lvmpipe (= the software OpenGL implementation of Mesa) is running. See here: http://www.mesa3d.org/llvmpipe.html I do not remember the exact details but AFAIK VMWare provided some code

@spyfall: It might be useful if you post your system specs in order to nail the your source of problem. For lacking 3D support the issue is simple: All ATI/AMD based cards rely on non-free ucode / BIOS files to enable 3D via radeon driver. This is not supported by Trisquel.

I suspect you do not have 3D acceleration. Could you post the output of glxinfo | grep OpenGL
