On my laptop it's a Radeon HD 3400. We're both in the R600 series, which has
passable 2d modesetting with both major free ati drivers ("radeon" and
"radeonhd"). However, 3d rendering for the R600/700 series both of us have is
in the experimental phase, and requires at least kernel 2.6.32 to function
with "radeonhd". BUT, Jaunty shipped with kernel 2.6.31-14, so unless the
Trisquel devs include a libre version the more recent kernel instead, the
2.6.31 will be the one we get in January. :(
So the only hope for us is in that case is to either wait for the update
after next or hope an experienced dev like Ali Gunduz
(http://aligunduz.org/gNewSense/) will compile a Trisquel-ready 2.6.32-x
kernel.
At the URL http://wiki.x.org/wiki/RadeonProgram the R600 series with the
latest kernel, drivers, and everything appears to play many 3d games with no
problem, and compiz 3d with only very minor issues.
I wish you luck in roughing it in the world of free software. Remember it's
Linux, so half the fun is knowing how much better everything is going to work
in another 6 months. :D
