Did the latest system package v2.10 (Blackbird) from 02-15-2024 actually fix the issue?

Well, RabtorCS offered to help. So it would be very surprising if they would drop ppc64le.

tle, if you write to the mailing list, please also mention that there will soon be a new ppc64 (e5500) motherboard. Hopefully it will be affordable. https://mirari.vitasys.nl/

Hi,

the latest available upstream version v2.1-20250826 has support for both ppc64

These nVidia drivers are only suitable for computation.
They do not provide any graphics output. Furthermore, they are outdated.

... More SIMD engines are being integrated, and as a hint IBM Z is next! The plan is to have *ALL* SIMD intrinsics for every platform supported.

Hopefully that includes the PPC970 and PA6T-1682M.

Maybe cleaner and better solution from VectorCamp:

But it's always good to have options.
