Re: AMD AGPUs, 3D acceleration, and linux-libre in Debian
The newer Richland APUs also should work, topping out with the A10-6800k.
As for the GPU, I don't expect 3d will work w/o the binary firmware blobs.
Even 2d might not work. And even if it does, there is still non-free video-
bios on the apu, AIUI. (There certainly is on all discreet radeon cards.)
You might be able to do a fully-Free-Software C32 or G34 board, but the
on-board vga on those probably is not up to 3d.
You can use a discreet card with the asus mb. Perhaps there is one w/o
propietary blobs?
Good luck. I'd be curious to know how it works out.
