"Hi
I'm a free software user, my computer run with Trisquel, no proprietary
software installed.
I have an issue I think is important.
Why does most people does not use Free operating system , free softwares and
free drivers?
For a lot of them it's the lack of great free games.
I'm a C programmer, and I was thinking yesterday : "Well, let's make an
MMORPG under GPL, could be fun".
Unfortunatly, there is a problem : the graphic card drivers does not support
3D...
I think i'm not the first one who want to make a free game but can't because
the free hardware drivers does not support 3D, wich means we're stuck with
tic tac toe games.. yeeha...
Public want to have fun with 3D games
Programmers want to have fun creating 3D games
What's the point about creating games if the free drivers can't handle them?
Actually, the only 3D card wich work great with free drivers is Intel.. they
are really awfull 3D chipset.
I don't know about ATI
I have an Nvidia 9300GS, using the free nouveau driver (most advanced for the
moment), I don't even support the basics compiz effect .. I mean ...
Can the FSF make the 3D support in free drivers a priority? Emacs work great
now, I think we can work on something usefull for users.
Thanks
Henri Griesmar"
What do you think about it?
