Bad news from a fellow ATI user. The xorg-radeon driver is free software, but
for 3D acceleration it relies on a DRM-laden module that was contributed by
AMD to Linux 2.6.32. They don't trust their users enough to not shove DRM
handcuffs down their throats. Your only bet for 3D acceleration without
straying from the libre way is with an Intel GPU.
I guess we now know the real reason Linus didn't want to upgrade Linux to the
GPLv3 license. He doesn't care enough about freedom to reject Draconian
Ridiculous Management (DRM).
If I got some detail wrong, please someone corrct me. But this is what quidam
let us know on IRC.
