[Trisquel-users] 3D acceleration...

[LiGNUx]

Well, I've been reading about Libre-Linux's catch22: AMD supports coreboot,  
but no free drivers for 3d acceleration and Intel has free drivers for 3D but  
doesn't support coreboot (which IMHO does no good for either of them or the  
users, and doesn't make any sense whatsoever).

And I just wondered, is it possible to have an AMD with coreboot and then an  
NVidia card with Noveau free drivers? I know next to nothing about this, but  
I guess the answer will be no, or it would be more popular, right?

And last but not least: what the hell is 3D acceleration used for?! I  
honestly have no idea; maybe I need it on a daily basis, or never use it at  
all.
