Hello folks. So I have an Acer Aspire E1-510-2821 PC I bought from walmart. It has Intel graphics and Atheros Wireless, but came with Windows 8 :/. I wanted to liberate it so I figured Trisquel would be a good choice, but much to my suprise, when I booted Trisquel it only booted to console. Appearently the Intel graphics I have was not supported in the kernel included with Trisquel. I installed Trisquel anyway, and then upgraded the linux-libre kernel (according to instructions in the documentation) and it works fine, however I notice there is no 3D acceleration. I thought Intel graphcis was suppose to support 3D Acceleration on free software. Is there something I'm missing (xorg config perhaps?). I installed KDE to see if it was just that the default Trisquel desktop wasn't acclearted but it is also not.

Any ideas? Here is the graphics I have and kernel version.
jsebean@jsebean-E1-510:~$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation ValleyView Gen7 (rev 0c)
jsebean@jsebean-E1-510:~$ uname -r
