Thank you Hero, yes it is better to i compile it, however the heat manager is not good on my Raptor Blackbird, but i guess i could compile with 1 core to reduce heat.


Guys i like so much powerpc be.

I can not boot tle-hero ppc-firefox build on trisquel ecne. 
Can you bump it firefox newer and recompile on glibc 2.39 <=

please, please  tle

Yeah ppc64 term still it is big endian, despite little endian from power8, but i not sure  what this ppc64 is meaning for our hero tle.

Bernie looks like 64k still not on gnulinux 7.0 for nouveau. I need to look  what happened.

Also i got NVK work on PPC: https://trisquel.info/files/gnuark.png

Bernie
 GnuLinux FSFLA 7.0 may release next Monday or Tuesday, this version enable Nouveau 64k for PPC and other improvements, so can you go ASAP to same 64k-thread on  Gnu Trisquel Forum to enable 64k for GnuLinux 7.0 release?

Thank you,

You know what Bernie, there are some specific model of Pascal  Nvidia GPU that work without firmware signed and reclock. Pascal is newer that Maxwell.

Let me testing first then i let you know how  WONDERFUL work on Gnu system.

Additionally videolan-dav1d added more acceleration for av1 for powerpc. So this is nice because you can use the powerpc-vsx3.0 acceleration for video hard decode than nvidia-vpu to watch fast and smooth youtvbe or any video on powerpc, as NVK still missing ATM for kepler, maxwell, this news is nice for powerpc video performance.

Nice that you got reclocked.

Bernie  i testing some GPUs and Drivers to get better perfomance on Raptor Backbird and Gnu Systems, so  my raptor-blackbird it is original raptor SFF-mTX so i like this factor,however i not have much space for big GPUs, so it only fits gpu low profil, single slot, so i have gpus to testing compat to Gnu OS like intel arc pro a40, which at the moment it is not working  as it need some patches on libdrm, but this arc gpu may work OK without firmware but i untested yet. So what i using now is Quadro k1200 which it is Maxwell, maxwell it is newer than Kepler and still do not using signed firmware on host. k1200 it working nice and it compat to NVK 1.4, however Kepler  is only compat to NVK 1.2. Why so import NVK? On Gnu system we do not have a Libre driver for video hardware decoder on Nvidia GPUs, howerver we can use the Libre NVK not just for gaming but for video decoder and encoder for smooth and hight  performance for video play and any vk-software acceleration ready, so this why Maxwell 1.0 shine.

So Bernie GPUs like  780 Ti and 710 is still Kepler, however there are  i high performance Maxwell gpu that do not need firmware y compat to nvk 1.4 as mine it is: Nvidia GTX 750 Ti or Nvidia GTX 750, this GPUs it is the best of the best for newer features and performances for Gnu OS.

ok looks like the poor performance on my Nvidia card was due to unreclock, i reclocked to max, and now the performance is amazing overall, now STK is show 50 fps from 15 fps from same  grafic configs. Even i am able to get close 100fps on same line card but more cores, even more it could work better if switch to zink.


EDIT:

blackbird:~$ sudo dmesg | grep  FAULT

Thank you RCS for let to know us  that the output is normal.

I  was just worried when i noticed those PCI outputs failed. I was just testing a Nvidia card and started trying out SuperTuxKart and saw that the performance was terrible, only 6fps at maximum performance in STK. So i started looking into what could be wrong and saw those pci failed in dmesg which make me to think that Petitboot  it could be interfering with Nouveau as Nouveau doesn't support 65k.
The Nouveau and Nvidia card work OK, however performance is not much good as i using nvidia k620. Recently Mesa 25.1 added support to maxwell-v1 to use the driver zink, so i hope to get better performance when i got testing.

The other question i have to RCS  is why do those PCI io-failed appear even if i remove the Nvidia card?


thank you bernie for sharing ur output which is same like me.

Hi
Bernie

I using the driver Nouveau and Gnu OS (Trisquel 11), however it looks like Nouveau it not working well on 4K either, as it shown critical pci-allocation-memory.

Can you share please: sudo dmesg | grep failed


Thanks.

I got some new conversations with Arc engineers today and there is a light on the horizon to get ARC work without blobs or at least with a reduced dose of blobs. I will testing on coming days and report here later.

Intel Arc it can work without blobs, however on xe driver the flag to boot without blobs it is disabled, i talked with intel arc engineer about and they are not interested to enable the flag on xe to boot without blobs(3 blobs).
i915 it has a flag to boot without blobs but i915 driver dont support power9 as xe does. There is another option to nvidia, but last time i asked to nvidia engineers they are not interested ti support power9.
So at the moment i using built-in aspeed gpu on my blackbird, aspeed gpu still good but on 720p monitor.
