[Trisquel-users] ATI Graphics Cards

[thekpearce]

Hello all,

I'm a newcomer to completely free software community and I have found myself  
facing a dilemma. I have a computer with an ATI Radeon HD 4350 for my  
graphics card. Now, I am not exactly a newbie to linux systems and have known  
about the problems with ATI and open source for some time (when I bought this  
computer I planned to use it for gaming, and was running windows at the time,  
therefore my choice of video card was obsolete). When I made the switch back  
to linux I was going to use Ubuntu, but I hated the new unity shell. This led  
me to begin looking at other OS', and was led to Trisquel GNU/Linux. This was  
my first real encounter with FSF and truly free software, and after  
researching it I can't help but agree with the ethics behind free and  
available software. So now, my problem.

I like to use my computer for gaming, but without a driver capable of 3D  
rendering my options are severely limited. Is there anyone else out there  
with an ATI card that uses Trisquel? What alternatives did you find for  
things like gaming? Are there any tricks I should know about? Better free  
drivers?

Thanks!
