Hello, it's Gnoob again,
I found out some things about what is needed to allow 3D hardware
acceleration and Trisquel 3.0 lacks the DRI kernel modules. The directory
/lib/modules/2.6.28-xx-generic/kernel/drivers/char has no 'drm' folder with
those modules in it.
This can be checked in bash with 'dmesg | grep drm', which shows whether the
DRM is loaded into the kernel
(http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DriTroubleshooting). On my system, it is
not, so I guess it's not in Trisquel at all? I read that the DRM is specific
for any kernel version (same page) and requires you to recompile the kernel.
I am not really up to that.
Is the Trisquel-team planning on adding this to the next release, because I
don't think those modules are non-free, or are they? I don't think
recompiling your kernel is something for inexperienced linux-users like
myself, so adding the DRM to the kernel in the next release would be nice.
