I just double-checked with a Trisquel liveUSB, and while it *does* show the same "VMWare" and "softpipe" stuff in glxinfo, the performance is much higher than on my GuixSD install, and it can even play HD videos without a hitch. So it looks like blobs aren't the issue. Which is nice, but does mean that it's probably a more difficult problem to track down. :/
