As I have tested GPUs on five computers I would like to add my finding
to h-node.
Is the lack of /dev/dri/ sufficient to put a GPU in the "does_not_work"
category in video cards on h-node?
The h-node documentation says to test a GPUs 3D capability with
`rss-glx` and `compiz`.
https://h-node.org/wiki/page/en/How-to-test-your-hardware#Video%20Cards
Searching for `rss-glx` and `compiz` with `guix search` I do not get any
results.
Would `rss-glx` or `compiz` work with a Wayland window manager?
What other ways can I test a GPUs 3D capabilities?
Is the ability to start Sway a Wayland window manager sufficient to put
a GPU in the "works_without_3D" or "works_with_3D" category in video
cards on h-node (based on the GPUs 3D capability)?

I think the questions you asked about hardware support and updating the
docs about that would be better suited for the guix-devel mailing list
As far as I understand, the help mailing list is more for Guix users
and help with use cases
and the issues you are raising seem more as dev issues, to me
