Here's what I've found: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Nouveau#Firmware "If you have a NV04-NV40 class card, firmware will not be necessary." This information may be outdated though. I'd like to buy a video card with fully free 3D support, but I'm yet to find out which ones are /really/ supported without NVidia blobs. -- I'm an FSF member -- Help us support software freedom! <http://www.fsf.org/jf?referrer=7253> _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list gNewSense-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
