I don't think the next version of Trisquel is bound to have 3D acceleration
for any Radeon cards, new or old. As far as I know, those so called "free"
Radeon drivers aren't really free. They require some binary-blob firmware for
the 3D acceleration. AMD would not disclose the firmware because that would
make their Digital Restriction Management implementation easier to bypass.
You can read this discussion between a AMD employee and some other guy about
the issue here:

(the discussion continues on the next pages)
Maybe my info is a bit old and things are different now, so please correct me
if I'm wrong.
