[Trisquel-users] graphic driver ?
well I am new at this. where can I find non proprietary graphic drivers for amd and nvidia? open source graphic drivers are non proprietary?
Re: [Trisquel-users] graphic driver ?
For Nvidia, open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau For amd I'm not sure, sorry.
Re: [Trisquel-users] graphic driver ?
GNU/Linux systems not aimed at power users, like Trisquel, tend to have all libre drivers and firmware installed by default. So if you don't have it in Trisquel's default install (excluding net install, of course), there probably isn't a libre driver available. In the case of AMD and Nvidia GPUs: AMD GPUs are all supported by the Radeon driver, and Nvidia GPUs by the Nouveau driver. Radeon doesn't work fully without proprietary firmware blobs (you won't get 3-D acceleration, in particular). Nouveau support for cards varies quite a bit (it is a result of reverse-engineering, after all), and if a card you have doesn't work with Nouveau, or is lacking features, upgrading the kernel can often help. This external repository maintained by jxself can help you get the latest version of Linux-libre, if you want to try that: http://jxself.org/linux-libre/

Re: [Trisquel-users] graphic driver ?
I wonder if I can play http://worldoftanks.eu/ with wine in trisquel. and if I can play http://warthunder.com/en/ which is a Linux game. thanks for the support that has given me.
Re: [Trisquel-users] graphic driver ?
where can I find non proprietary graphic drivers for amd and nvidia? On their respective websites. Don't, though. Please, just don't.
Re: [Trisquel-users] graphic driver ?
I do not want to install support. just wanted to know it is possible to play in trisquel or not. in the respective site have proprietary drives . I just wondered if there drives non proprietary without firmware etc.. but thanks anyway.

Hello and welcome to the GNU+Linux-libre Trisquel forums, Well, I don't know much about these games also. However, since I'm also a gamer (not an avid one, but anyways, :D), perhaps I can suggest some free (as in freedom, not price) games: - Battle Just Started (http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Battle_Just_Started). It isn't in Trisquel's repositories; - NetPanzer. It's in Trisquel's repositories. Some of my mates from Brazil play this game. I do play it, but I suck doing so; - BTanks. It's in Trisquel's repositories. Quite interesting; - BZFlag (http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/BZFlag). It's in Trisquel's repositories. I play it sometimes, There are lots of people playing it. There are other games too, and even some that I forgot to mention or that are worth mentioning but weren't since I think they don't meet the criteria of "war games with tanks and planes", like Xonotic (futuristic first-person-shooter with vehicles, low gravity, nice graphics and so on), Minetest (created **before** Minecraft was ever released, and some people still call it "Minecraft-like", :( ), Secret Maryo Chronicles (just like the Mario series, just 100 times better), FreeDoom (a free Doom. Although some of us are still studying a free software to play it online without non- free software), and many others. Here is one of the various places (not all are listed) to find free (as in freedom, not price) games: http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Category/Game Or you can just use your favorite package manager to search the Trisquel repositories. Now about Wine, it's OK to use it since it's free software (http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Wine). **However**, using (or teaching/helping) it to use non-free software through it is not an option for a free software activist, so don't insist for support on how to do such things here. Perhaps the folks at Warthunder, or whichever non-free program/game you want to [be ab]use[d], can aid you in this case, not us. P.S: Greetings from Brazil! Respectfully, Adonay.

ADFENO thank you very much. Greetings From Portugal.
Re: [Trisquel-users] graphic driver ?
A lot of free as in freedom games are listed in Libre Game Wiki.
Re: [Trisquel-users] graphic driver ?
I'm not sure why a website for a video game, libre or not, would link to any graphics drivers. It's not typically something you have to worry about. Even in the case of Windows, computers shipped with it are typically also shipped with whatever drivers are needed for the hardware that is a part of the computer (e.g. the GPU). You seem to be under some sort of impression that the driver is directly connected to the game, which it isn't. Modern games don't connect to GPUs at that low of a level, and basically, anything natively compiled for GNU/Linux will run. The only question is whether or not it will run well, which partially depends on whether or not your GPU's hardware acceleration features can be used, though there are some other aspects. The easiest way to tell is to just run the game and see what happens. Of course, you shouldn't run proprietary software games, but this applies just as much to libre software games.
Re: [Trisquel-users] graphic driver ?
I'm increasingly confused I was reading this http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/systems page and saw this "This has made possible the development of a free 3D driver can que software as well as 2D. This driver is called 'radeon' http://wiki.x.org/wiki/radeon, and it has 2D and 3D support is ATI cards of the R100, R200, R300 and R400 series.The R500, R600 and R700 series cards are supported by the radeonhd http://wiki.x.org/wiki/radeonhd driver, but still que Seems a bit more of a work in progress as of early November 2008. " researched and found this http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/ then asked me. these drivers look good. but is 100% free libres without proprietary software and firmware?
Re: [Trisquel-users] graphic driver ?
These drivers are free, but they need nonfree firmware. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: [Trisquel-users] graphic driver ?
...and the screen resolution (ati radeon crap) limited to the bios resolution (1024*768) in my case ughh...
Re: [Trisquel-users] graphic driver ?
I have the same problem unfortunately
