OK, so is my next step then to download the source from your GitHub and see if I can make any sense of where the issue might be?

[EDIT] Out of curiosity, the picture you posted above for the latest alpha of the kernel, is that from a physical machine, or a Qemu VM? Do you have some details?

So, I've been trying to chase down where what appears to be an endian issue lies over the last week or so and today I swapped my X1600 Pro GPU for an HD6570 GPU and the issue went away. The issue is that if I write code to explicitly clear a window to, let's say blue in SDL2, it actually clears to ...

Managed to get Void downloaded and installed to USB. Unfortunately while a simple test of SDL2 (building an app that displays a window cleared to a specific colour) works fine, it doesn't really prove much as the version of SDL2 is some years behind the one in Mint. So I have two choices, go through ...

Unfortunately, unless I'm wrong, and there's a way to get up to date versions of software onto Fienix and Void, they aren't any use to me?

Like I say, there appears to be an issue with SDL2-devel on MintPPC and to establish whether the issue is specific to Mint, I need to try the same version or ...

So, the GPU is an X1600 series. I forget right now if it's a 1600 pro or a 1650 pro. I think the 1600. It works fine with Mint so I guess my next step is to copy over the config from there although from memory, I only specify the monitors because at the time I was using a 4K monitor and having ...

I thought I'd have a go at getting the current Chimera PPC32 image up and running. I was partially successful in that I was able to install it (on USB at the moment), create my user, etc. I wasn't able to get Gnome up and running but according to the comment earlier in this thread that's unlikely ...

I don't suppose anyone has a Qemu config that can run the mintppc single partition image do they? I need to test something and my X5040 is out of commission at the moment. My qemu config will boot the void live image but not the mint one so I clearly have something wrong. It's been a few months ...

So 64bit works on x1000 but not x5000 then?

OK, done some minimal testing with Neovim and as I suspected a lot of the plugins die on install. This is down to a lack of node.js and npm. Rather than try to descend down that rabbit hole (from a quick google search it looks like Node.js involves assembler) I intend to start my config again and ...

@mintppc thank you very much for your efforts on this. I just gave it a quick test and Neovim does indeed install and appears to run.

I will dig into it later but I believe I've hit a permanent roadblock when it comes to my config however, which doesn't surprise me in the slightest! When I copy my ...
