Tremulous works, at least single-player; it's even an RPM for Fedora.

Not that I know of, but Libre-SoC might eventually.

Petitboot is almost certainly using an older kernel, too (which is usually the case).

What are your kernel boot arguments?

Seeing if @sharkcz knows anything about it.

If it's at all similar to Fedora or RHEL, there should be other Workstation flavours to try.

I hope so, though keep in mind it will still never be as fast as a GPU. But I use my Blackbird only with AST graphics, so I look forward to this work.

All that application is, is the front-end. It doesn't do any key extraction. You need the x86-only blob for that and it is not open-source.

I just use NTP (I have a stratum 1 server on the local network).

Maury, I keep telling you: replace the libgraphene library. I even pre-built one, just replace the older one.

It does improve the perf BUT it is still tad slower than GNOME 3.38

Well, I can't argue with that. But it's much more useable than without it.

What exact command did you use? If you copied all the partitions with dd, it should 'just work'.

I haven't played with this myself, but that does seem abnormally low. If you boot, say, Void or some other Live CD Linux distro, do you get the same limits?

I need to update my QEMU, so I can't test it just this moment.

I wonder if NsCDE might be a better fit. There should be a Fedora package for it though I've yet to try it myself (I get my CDE fix on my HP-UX and Solaris systems).

I actually have a old white Aptiva husk, but it's a little small for a Blackbird, and it has sentimental value (long story).

Anyway, thanks, tle! PM me or whatever and I'll get them posted. People will enjoy it.

I like it! It suits the 'Bird, gives it a T2 vibe. However, 120W PSU standard? Wow, that *is* a joke.

Also, if you have any nice pictures of it, I'd like to do another "ShowUsYourTalos" post on Talospace, so I'd be delighted to feature it.
