Mesa & DRI for PPC

[xeno74]

Hi All!

Mesa 23.1.2 has been added to the Fienix Evo repositories. I suggest upgrading for improved system performance.

You can also install the new Mesa 23.1.2 with the following commands on Debian and MintPPC:

Code: Select all

apt update

Code: Select all

apt install libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx mesa-utils

Hello Christian,

Well some time past, I would like to inform you that I managed to make it work, well no longer with a HD6970 but with another card, I would like to warn you about Mesa 24.2.x, it's causing problems in big endian related to not having 3D acceleration, I suggest not updating and staying on mesa 24.1.x, we had more analysis into it https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/11933 and https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/12048

Have a great week, best regards,
Link.
